The Working Group immediately held a videoconference meeting with the Working Group on Social Affairs of Martyrs, Disabled War Veterans and Participants functioning in the Ministry of Labor and Social Protection, held mutual discussions on solution of the problems of military men that fall under this category and established a joint actions plan. At the same time, the Working Group included representatives from the Central Bank and the State Insurance Commercial Company of the Republic of Azerbaijan (Azersigorta).
