Today in Turkmenistan entered into force an addition to the Law “On military Conscription and Military Service”, the “Neutral Turkmenistan” newspaper reports.
In the Law the basis for deferred service of citizens are clarified. The law stipulates that a deferral from conscription for military service will be granted to those who wish to participate in entrance examinations to higher and secondary vocational educational institutions of Turkmenistan and foreign countries in the year of graduation from general education institutions and special educational institutions.
The first part of Article 19 “Deferrals from conscription of citizens for military service” of the Law of Turkmenistan “On military duty and military service” after paragraph 2 is supplemented with the following paragraph:
- “21) those wishing to participate in entrance examinations to higher and secondary vocational educational institutions of Turkmenistan and foreign countries in the year of graduation from general education institutions and special educational institutions”.
We remind that from September 1, 2022 a one-time deferment from conscription for high school graduates has been legalized in Turkmenistan. A corresponding change was made to the Law of Turkmenistan “On State Youth Policy”, a new version of which was signed by President Serdar Berdimuhamedov.
