Many camps were to be organized not only in the territory of Artsakh, but also in Armenia and abroad.

However, due to the blockade imposed by Azerbaijan, it is impossible to organize children's holidays outside the territory of Artsakh, Artsakhpress reports, citing Artsakh's Minister of Education, Science, Culture and Sports Norayr Mkrtchyan.

"As an alternative, we are trying to organize camps in the territory of Artsakh, even for small groups, in order to add some colors to the children's daily life in the current situation, to provide active rest and entertainment," the minister noted.

Referring to the problems caused by the blockade in the field of sports, Norayr Mkrtchyan informed that at the beginning of August the athletes of Artsakh were supposed to participate in the Pan-Armenian Games in Armenia.

"The athletes who are in Artsakh are deprived of that opportunity. The athletes from Artsakh were to take part in a number of international tournaments as part of the Armenian national team, which is, unfortunately,  impossible due to the current situation," informed the minister.
