Armenian boy donates $8300 proceeds from walnuts sale to Karabakh fund

A young Armenian boy named Vahe Hovhannisyan sold walnuts throughout the war between Azerbaijan and Nagorno-Karabakh and has now donated all the proceeds – more than AMD 4 million (over $8300) – to Hayastan All-Armenian Fund.

Armavir mayor Davit Khudatyan shared a photo with Hovhannisyan, thanking him "for a wonderful example of patriotism".

Various social media users were spreading information about the young boy's venture to help those affected by the war.

Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, Russian and Azerbaijani Presidents Vladimir Putin and Ilham Aliyev on November 9 signed a statement to end the war in Karabakh after almost 45 days. Under the deal, the Armenian side is returning all the seven regions surrounding Nagorno-Karabakh, having lost a part of Karabakh itself in hostilities.
