YEREVAN. – The government of today set the new procedure for granting the status of "combatant" to persons participating in the defense of the Republic of Armenia.

According to the respective decision, this status is now granted by the regulations set out by the Government and by the order of the Minister of Defense, taking into account the conclusion of the interdepartmental committee.

Previously, this status was granted by the procedure under the Government decision on 27.11.2000, but this procedure has been declared null and void.

Taking into account also that prior to the adoption of this new procedure, the legislation also previously granted persons the status of "combatant" or "Yerkrapah volunteer," it is stipulated that they remain their force.

The adoption of this new decision will provide for the procedure for granting persons the status of “combatant,” and for those who receive such status to make use of the social guarantees provided by law.
