The Republic of Armenia Ministry of Defence states that during their service period, as part of the training process, every conscript of the Armed Forces, including the son of Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, Ashot Pashinyan, with other personnel of their respective units, is periodically transferred to other military units, in particular to training units, in accordance with pre-determined training plans.

As a rule, transfers apply to the entire subdivision: they are short-term and are limited to a specific event. This procedure applies to all servicemen.

The Ministry of Defence once again advises against disseminating disinformation, and especially against using unchecked or obviously fake information for political purposes.

In addition, we once again encourage to doublecheck any information regarding the Armed Forces with the relevant service of the Ministry of Defence.
