    YEREVAN, JULY 6, ARMENPRESS: 50 veterans of the Great Patriotic War
    want to rest in the Arzni Health Center. As in 2012, in 2013 as well
    the Chairman of the Union of Veterans of the Republic of Armenia, the
    Colonel Simon Yesayan applied to the Ministry of Labor and Social
    Affairs to organize the rest issues of the veterans. As Armenpress
    was reported by the Chairman of the Union of Veterans of the Republic
    of Armenia, in comparison with the previous year, when 100 veterans
    spent their rest in the health centers, in 2013 only 50 of them will
    be able to go for a vacation.

    The Colonel Simon Yesayan stated that the wish of the veterans to have
    a rest at the Arzni Health Center is great, as it is a step of the
    Government of the Republic of Armenia towards the improvement of the
    social and economic conditions of the veterans. The Government of the
    Republic of Armenia implements different events directed to the
    improvement of the social and economic conditions of the
    veterans. Among them is the provision of the annual tour packets to
    100 veterans to the health center of Arzni.

    12 million AMD was allocated in 2012 from the reserve fund of the
    state budget for the organization of the rest and recovery treatment
    of veterans. By the decree of the Government such program was
    implemented in 2010 on the occasion of the 65th anniversary of the
    victory in the Great Patriotic War, providing 300 veterans with the
    opportunity to organize their rest and recovery treatment for 12 days.

    The youngest participant of the Great Patriotic War, living in
    Armenia, is 87 and the eldest is 100. By April 1 2013 the number of
    the veterans in Armenia has been 1850. If the 65th anniversary of the
    victory in the Great Patriotic War was celebrated with 3500 veterans,
    now their number is only 1850. According to the statistics, 30-45
    veterans pass away every month.

    There are 50 veteran organizations functioning in Armenia, 11 of which
    are in Yerevan. According to official data, 600,000 Armenians, not
    only from the Soviet Armenia, but also from different countries of the
    CIS and Diaspora, took part in the Great Patriotic War, 200-250,000 of
    which fell with hero's death.
