The National Assembly adopted the draft law "On Status of Military Servicemen " completely. At the moment the students who are protesting against this law close the Demirchyan street and the official entrance by the NA entrance. The right to be discharged from compulsory military service on the grounds of having a scientific degree has been removed.  However, the aforementioned law will not influence those who have already became a post-graduate or have received a deferment until the acceptance of the law, December 31, 2020. To remind, five of the university students, who have refused to attend classes in protest of the bill that curtails the right of military deferment in Armenia, have declared a hunger strike. However,  in the evening, one of them felt not well. Thus, at present, 4 are on hunger strike.
