19 December 2006 16:53 (UTC +04:00)

The proposals to Basis of military legislation have been amended, Milli Majlis security and defense commission member Zahid Oruj told APA.
The amendments to the law of Basis of military legislation will be discussed at the meeting of Parliament on Dec 22.
â€œAmendments to the law have been changed. The proposal to prolong the military service period from a year and a year and a half for graduates was rejectedâ€?, he said. The proposal to abolish the deferment right of draftees having 3 children was also rejected.
â€œThe draftees having 3 children have the right of defermentâ€?, he said. Military service will be one of main terms during getting jobs in state structures as customs, taxes and others. Zahid Oruj said that the other change is related to the graduatesâ€™ deferment right.
â€œStudents are to do military service after the bachelor degree. They can continue their study after the military serviceâ€?, he noted. The deferment right of the students intending to get masterâ€™s degree will be discussed at the session. /APA/
