    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ UNAIDS, the Joint United Nations Programme on
    HIV/AIDS, has secured 19 million EUR for Armenia over the course of
    six years for its fight against the virus, said UNAIDS South Caucasus
    Representative Manoela Grozdanova told a press conference on the World
    AIDS Day. Starting from 2010 Armenia will receive funds allocated by
    the Global Fund to fight HIV and AIDS.

    According to Manoela Grozdanova, the funds will support work state
    agencies have committed to carry out. UN Member States, including
    Armenia, adopted the 2001 UNGASS Declaration of Commitment on HIV/AIDS,
    which became the first global program on activities related to HIV
    response.

    Armenian Minister of Labor and Social Affairs Mkhitar Mnatsakanyan in
    his speech noted the huge damage HIV virus causes and the importance
    of measures to combat it.

    The conference was attended by representatives of organizations
    concerned with protecting the rights of people living with HIV.

    "On the Day to fight AIDS let's protect rights of people living
    with HIV and those who are at risk of disease, as well as children
    living in families with HIV. And most importantly, let's act now,"
    UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon stressed in his message.
