Azerbaijan has reduced the upper age limit for conscripts from 35 to 30 years.
According to the current Law “On Military Duty and Military Service”, conscripts are male citizens aged 18 to 35 who have not completed their initial military registration or have not undergone mandatory military service.
According to the amendment, if conscripts who no longer qualify for deferment, as well as those who are ineligible for deferment or exemption under the law, and who were not called up for mandatory active military service within the designated timeframes for various reasons, they will now be required to enlist during the next conscription period. Instead of being called up until the age of 35, as previously stated, they will be called up for service before reaching the age of 30.
