YEREVAN. – The Government of Armenia will allot 20 million drams (approx. $48,700) to the NGOs that represent the country’s national minorities.  

The respective draft decision is included in the agenda of Thursday’s Cabinet meeting.     

A total of 818,000 drams (approx. $2,000) are planned to be allocated to each national minority community. But if the latter is represented by two NGO’s, as it is the case for the Yezidis and the Assyrians, the allotted amount will be shared between these organizations.
