Risk of military conscription during travel to Armenia?
Hello everyone, I'm in a tricky situation and need your advice. Here are the facts:
- Born in Germany
- Have Armenian citizenship (passport currently expired)
- Also have a German citizenship (obtained at 16)
- Last visited Armenia at age 13, I am now 20 years old
- Planning a trip to Armenia in October 2025
My questions:
- Is there a risk of being conscripted into military service upon entry (because of dual citizenship and being an armenian in Armenia?)
- What consequences could I face for not having completed mandatory military service?
- Does anyone have experience with the new law allowing paid exemption from military service?
- Should I reconsider the trip altogether?
I'm grateful for any tips, especially from people with similar experiences or knowledge about the current situation in Armenia.
Thank you in advance!
