YEREVAN, December 3. /ARKA/. The government of Armenia has indicated today it will pay the tuition fees of those university students who fought against Azerbaijani-Turkish aggression in Nagorno-Karabakh. The news was announced by Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan at a government meeting.
Pashinyan said the government has already passed a number of decisions on payments and compensations to persons involved in military actions in Nagorno-Karabakh, which are in line with a "road map" he unveiled on November 18 designed to overcome the consequences of the war.
He said also a draft government decision was being prepared, according to which the students who took part in the war and the students whose parents also were involved in the hostilities will be able to receive compensation for their studies at universities in the second half of the year.
'I hope that at the next government meeting we will adopt this decision. Until then, there should be no problems with tuition fees,” Pashinyan said.
He also noted that assistance will not be limited to this; the authorities are developing other draft decisions, which will be presented at the next government meeting.
From September 27 to November 9, Azerbaijani armed forces, backed by Turkey and foreign mercenaries and terrorists, attacked Nagorno-Karabakh along the entire front line using rocket and artillery weapons, heavy armored vehicles, military aircraft and prohibited types of weapons such as cluster bombs and phosphorus weapons.
On November 9, the leaders of the Russia, Azerbaijan and Armenia signed a statement on the cessation of all hostilities in Artsakh. According to the document, the parties stopped at where they were at that time. The town of Shushi, the districts of Agdam, Kelbajar and Lachin are handed over to Azerbaijan, with the exception of a 5-kilometer corridor connecting Karabakh with Armenia.
A Russian peacekeeping contingent has been deployed along the contact line in Karabakh and along the Lachin corridor.
