Report prepared by Azerbaijan on "Armenia's misuse of non-profit organizations and charities for corruption, money laundering and terrorist financing" has been circulated as a document of the UN General Assembly and the Security Council, Azerbaijan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs told APA.

The report states that the Armenian state-organized illegal fundraising campaigns under the guise of humanitarian aid through Armenian diaspora organizations operating in many countries during the 44-day Patriotic War and post-war period and these funds collected within these campaigns were used to finance terrorist activities against the civilian population of Azerbaijan within its sovereign territories.

It is noted in the report prepared on the basis of the statements of Armenia's state officials and information of the Armenian public sources that more than USD 170 mln amount has been collected by the Armenian diaspora organization living in 73 countries during just the Patriotic war, and USD 110 mln of this has been transferred to Armenia's state budget in order to cover the costs of the war. The mentioned fact has been reflected in the speech of the Armenian Prime Minister before the Armenian parliament on April 21, 2021, regarding the implementation of the state budget of 2020.
