ArmInfo.The RA NA Standing Committees on Defense  and Security and on Health Care and Social Affairs, together with the  Armenian Patriarchate of Jerusalem and the "Soldier's House"  rehabilitation center, have developed a charity program, within which  on May 26, six servicemen wounded during the 44-day war will visit  Jerusalem as pilgrims. This was reported by the press service of the  Parliament.

Chair of the NA Standing Committee on Health Care and Social Affairs  Narek Zeynalyan, emphasizing the importance of the idea of  pilgrimage, the acquisition of spiritual values in Jerusalem, said  that the program will be continuous.
