A number of countries and international organizations have pledged to provide assistance to Armenia through ICRC for a total amount of 35 million euros to meet the needs of Nagorno-Karabakh refugees, Deputy Prime Minister Tigran Khachatryan said.
The deputy prime minister said also that another 35 million euros are promised through other channels, including 15 million euros as budgetary support to the Armenian government. The other 20 million will be provided through the Armenian representative offices of foreign development agencies.
He informed that during the past two weeks about 100 tons of humanitarian aid arrived in Armenia, which is being distributed in the regions to provide the displaced people with food, basic necessities and other goods.
"The government is monitoring the problems of the displaced persons developing appropriate support programs. The past two weeks were used to solve priority issues, but it is already time to clarify further assistance mid-term and long-term tasks. These programs will be unveiled soon to get opinions and adjust decisions more adequately," Khachatryan said, ARKA reports.
