The program initiated with the support of the Embassy was approved by the Foreign Ministry even though Armenia was not among the countries chosen by Belgium for grant projects in 2021. The funds will be used to purchase equipment necessary for surgical procedures of soldiers injured during the Second Karabakh War, in order to improve the lives of the Armenian servicemen and help them reintegrate back into society.
