Yerevan /Mediamax/. Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan announced today that the duration of mandatory military service will be shortened starting January 1, 2026.
“It was initially planned that this regulation would take effect from the summer conscription of 2026. However, following discussions with the Minister of Defense, and earlier consultations with our parliamentary colleagues, we decided to bring the effective date forward – starting from January 1, 2026.
Starting from the winter conscription of 2026, the mandatory 2-year military service term in Armenia will be reduced to one and a half years,” Nikol Pashinyan said in a short video posted on Facebook.
