In solidarity with the international community and other Member States of the European Union, on 24 October 2023, the Cabinet of Ministers of Latvia adopted a decision to allocate funding at the amount of 100,000 euros from the “Emergency Funds” programme of the State budget in support of Armenia, which is facing a humanitarian crisis following a mass influx of Karabakh Armenians into the country.
More than 100,000 people left the region within days after Azerbaijan’s military operation in Karabakh on September 19, putting Armenia under a huge social and economic pressure. Latvia’s financial support will help address the most urgent humanitarian needs of the Karabakh Armenians and support those affected by the crisis.
