    According to the Military Service Act, citizens liable for military
    service who haven't served in the army cannot be appointed to a state
    office in the Republic of Armenia. Although that act was adopted in
    1998, the government has not yet approved the list of the offices,
    which persons who haven't served in the army cannot hold. Armen
    Ghularyan, the governor of Tavush, who has governed the bordering
    region for 13 years already didn't serve in the Soviet army. In
    Ghularyan's official bio, there is no mention that he has participated
    in the fight for freedom. The region of Tavush shares a 350km border
    with Azerbaijan. The governor is obliged to coordinate the activities
    of regional departments of republican executive bodies dealing, along
    with other areas, with the internal affairs, national security and
    defense. In December 2011, during President of the Republic of Armenia
    Serzh Sargsyan's visit to bordering Voskepar, the governor who hadn't
    served in the army was wearing a military uniform. By the way, the
    third color of the state flag blowing at that moment was not orange,
    but yellow.
