The secretary of state, Deputy Minister of Defense General of the Army Nikolai Pankov does not support the idea of increasing the call-up age.
"To my mind, it is not expedient to reject from the call-up age of 18 years old and it is even worth giving larger significance to this age. Here is the general idea: реу boy finishes school at the age of 18, and we call him to the Army. After finishing service, he has preferences for education in accordance with the law", N.Pankov stated in the interview to the mass-media on Monday.
