Today, January 14, Shamshyan.com was called by Alisa Petrosyan, a resident of Yerevan, who wanted to express her concern and displeasure over the fact that her 19-year-old son Harutyun Khachatryan received a notice to be drafted into the army.
of Shamshyan.comin a conversation with the reporter, he said:
"Since the age of 13, the child has serious problems with the heart, blood pressure and is registered at the Nork cardiology clinic. He also has a spine problem, flat feet, but what is more worrying for us is the heart problem.
They had postponed it for a year and now they decided to take him to the army without normal checks. We took him to check-ups at our own expense and it turned out that after 10 minutes of walking, the pressure rises immediately.
Our "vayenkomat" thinks that he is suitable for line service.
We didn't give up on "Paveska" and we didn't take it either. Who will tell me what is the guarantee that my child will serve normally and come back, they don't say anything. They only take children to the army and we don't know what will happen there.
How should a parent go to see how his child is doing at every moment? How can an unhealthy child be taken to the army, and many healthy ones be unjustifiably released from service? It's not that we are not patriotic, but if our child has such serious problems, how will he serve? What will happen next?"
In the end, the mother tasked the relevant institutions to be consistent with this issue and release her son from mandatory military service.
