STEPANAKERT, APRIL 29, ARTSAKHPRESS-ARMENPRESS: “When the situation escalated in Nagorno Karabakh as a result of Azerbaijani provocative actions, we organized a meeting here and decided to send a letter of complaint to the Swedish Government by the name of the Armenian National Committee. Our demand was to conduct steps to stop Azerbaijani operations. We have also successfully organized a protest with cooperation of Embassy of Armenia to Sweden, Scandinavia Armenian Church and Armenian Associations Coordination Center. Moreover, we understood that we need to support Artsakh people and we decided to financially help them. Now the process of allocating financial resources is underway, everyone contributes how much he can. The money will be sent to Artsakh in the upcoming weeks,” Arshak Gavafyan said.
He informed that they haven’t decided yet for what the money would be spend. “Maybe it can spend on the families of victims, families of wounded or killed soldiers. Maybe they need to buy equipment for Army defense or to restore the destroyed houses. However, one thing is clear that we will provide financial assistance to Artsakh people,” Arshak Gavafyan added.
