Today, in a ceremony in Stepanakert's Renaissance Square, eight Artsakh War veterans with 1st degree physical disabilities were allocated automobiles with specially equipped hand-held controls. Present to hand the car keys to the vets was Souren Avagyan, the event benefactor. This is the second time that Mr. Avagyan has undertaken the expense of providing such vehicles to physically challenged Artsakh War vets. The program was started last year when the NKR government used state funds to purchase such specially equipped cars. To date, some 33 vets have received vehicles.
