Founded in 1993 by the late Vazgen Sargsyan the Yerkrapah has two missions. First, to keep military spirit alive in a state of non-ended war. Second, to provide a social platform for war veterans seeking to reintegrate into civilian life. The conditions in which the Union operates, however, are problematic and not in tune with the “spirit of times”.
