To date, 28 patients have been transferred from Artsakh to Armenia with the mediation and accompaniment of the International Committee of the Red Cross to receive appropriate treatment.
The bulletin states that 726 business entities (17.7% of the total) have suspended their operations due to the impossibility of working under blockade conditions.
