In 2006 charity programs of 4 billion 238 million drams were
implemented.

The vice premier of NKR, the head of the NKR Central Committee on
Humanitarian Aid Ararat Danelyan told Mediamax that the charity funds
on social and economic programs grew by 9.5 percent compared with 2005.

Ararat Danielyan said in 2006 Nagorno Karabakh received humanitarian
aid of 66 million 85 thousand drams which was spent on medicine,
medical equipment and computers.

Presently over 20 companies are implementing charity and humanitarian
programs in NKR, as well individuals from Nagorno Karabakh, Armenia,
the U.S., France, Germany and Russia.

The organizations and individuals implementing humanitarian and charity
programs are exempt from the VAT by a decision of the Committee.

"Charity and humanitarian programs are important for the solution
of social problems and creation and development of infrastructures
in NKR. They help to spare significant budget funds, which helps
speed up long-term social and economic development of the country,"
Ararat Danielyan said.
