The Military Insurance Fund was created to ensure social welfare, stable and various insurance compensations for servicemen and families of servicemen, who died, went missing or were disabled during the defense of the country.

According to official figures, at least 3,700 other Armenian soldiers and civilians were killed during the six-week war and 268 are considered missing.
To replenish the fund's resources, the Arevagorg (Sunny Carpet) campaign is running in the lobby of the Marriott Hotel in Yerevan. Anyone can tie their own "knot" on the carpet by making a donation to the Fund. A symbolic carpet from a series of carpets from the Jraberd district of Artsakh can also be woven online at https://megerian.1000plus.am/.
On September 27, 2020, Azerbaijani armed forces, backed by Turkey and foreign mercenaries and terrorists, attacked Nagorno-Karabakh along the entire front line using rocket and artillery weapons, heavy armored vehicles, military aircraft and prohibited types of weapons such as cluster bombs and phosphorus weapons.
