Woman from Vanadzor complains about results of medical examination of conscripts (video)
Elen Ghazaryan from Vanadzor claims that her twin boys have health problems that are incompatible with the service. "My son has a 17% shortsightedness, but in Malaysia they [doctors] wanted to put a soft pillow on my head. I understand that there is a problem of completing the number, but at least they should be honest to not make these children to become disabled," says the woman. The other boy, Seyran Karapetyan, has a 3rd degree of flat-footedness. The examination took place at Nork Marash Medical Center. Elen Ghazaryan demands permission to have a medical examination at another medical institution. The woman applied to the RA Ministry of Defense Public Council.
