ArmInfo. French Ambassador to Armenia Olivier Decotigny congratulated David Nersisyan on his election as the new President of the Armenian Red Cross Society.
"Over the past year, France has provided 3 million euros in support of the activities of the Armenian Red Cross Society to assist refugees from Nagorno-Karabakh," the French Embassy said in a statement on Facebook.
The Armenian Red Cross Society is the only national organization of the Red Cross operating in the Republic of Armenia.
As a result of the aggression initiated by Azerbaijan against Nagorno-Karabakh from autumn 2020 to autumn 2023, over 150 thousand Artsakh residents became refugees.
