ArmInfo.In connection with the martial law, the Armenian government allocated about 120 billion drams, of which 52 billion was allocated from the funds of the All-Armenian Fund "Hayastan". This was stated by Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan on April 22 during a government meeting.
According to him, in connection with the funds transferred to the fund, there was a lot of speculation - "allegedly, bonuses were paid, directed to other needs." According to the Prime Minister, on March 15, at a meeting of the board of trustees of the fund, he presented a list of expenses, on the basis of which the board issued a statement expressing confidence that the amounts collected during the war were spent on purpose. Pashinyan thanked all the benefactors, and stressed that from 1992 to September 2020, $247 million was donated to the fund, and during the 44-day war - $212mn. That is, as the prime minister pointed out, during the war, an amount equal to almost 70% of the funds since the foundation of the fund was collected. The Prime Minister noted that in Artsakh, the Government of Armenia together with the Pan-Armenian Fund will implement programs worth 110 billion drams over the next three years. "This program exceeds all the programs implemented by the foundation in Artsakh for 29 years," he said.
