have made huge contribution to helping Armenia become
an established state.
According to the Armenian prime minister, what is
important is that apart from their continued support
to Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh through implementation
of programs of vital importance, provision of
assistance to insecure segments of population, these
organizations also serve as an example for others.
`I am happy that your example is being already
replicated in Armenia,’ Serzh Sarkisian told Mr.
