It is developed to aim those who are trying to avoid serving in the army for supposedly having psychological disorders.

The ne legislation will not take into account a report just from one doctor, as it is now. A commission of 5 psychiatrists will be formed, which will be making the final decision. Moreover, if the diagnosis Is confirmed, a person will not be released from his duty. That person will still have to serve for the benefit of the country in civil service for 18 to 19 months.
