According to research, the US government pays a $100,000 “Death Gratitude” to soldiers’ families. Families in Azerbaijan receive 10,000 manat (roughly $6,700). In Armenia and Artsakh, families of deceased soldiers receive only 200,000 AMD (roughly $480).

I encourage those who want to contribute to do so to them.
