RA premier forms group to review proper organization of summer  vacations for children from vulnerable families

ArmInfo. Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan has ordered the creation of an interagency working group to review the implementation of his May 15, 2026, decision  regarding the organization of summer vacations for children, as well  as to examine media reports related to its implementation. The  corresponding decision was published on the official website of the  Armenian government.

According to the document, the task force is reviewing the  implementation of the decision, which established an interagency  commission to organize summer vacations for children aged 7 to 13  from socially vulnerable groups. The program provides for vacations  for the children of fallen military personnel, children with  disabilities, orphans, children from low-income families, and  children from national minorities in two ten-day shifts, beginning  June 20, 2026. The list of children's health camps is determined  separately by authorized state bodies.

The working group is headed by Armenak Khachatryan, Deputy Chief of  Staff to the Prime Minister of Armenia. It includes Deputy Minister  of Finance Avag Avanesyan, Head of the Legal Department of the Prime  Minister's Office Hayk Kesoyan, Head of the Social Affairs Department  of the Prime Minister's Office Sergey Tashchyan, and Head of the  Social Sphere Control Department of the State Control Service David  Ayvazyan.

The working group must submit a final report to the Prime Minister  with the results of its inspection by July 30, 2026.

The Minister of Territorial Administration and Infrastructure, the  Minister of Education, Science, Culture and Sports, the Minister of  Health, the Minister of Labor and Social Affairs, and the Governor of  the Kotayk Province are obligated to ensure the participation of  invited officials in the group's work.

It's worth noting that days earlier, Armenian media reported that  summer camps, funded by the state, were organized in the resort area  of Tsaghkadzor for children aged 7 to 13 from vulnerable families in  various regions of Armenia. However, the conditions the children  found themselves in were far from ideal. They were even deprived of  proper hygiene.
