Support for the Afghan Warrior State

The Pridnestrovian Association unites about one and a half thousand Afghans. All of them receive a number of benefits from the state. The main benefits are for paying utility bills, including for the wives of Afghan soldiers, as well as in the healthcare system, said Chairman of the Committee on Education, Public Associations and the Media Igor Buga.

According to him, deputies of the Supreme Council have leveled the system for determining and calculating pensions for veterans of the Afghan war and combatants in 1992 over the past few years. The Afghans along with them receive today the so-called "combat" allowances - 529 rubles to the pension every month. They have the right to import a car into the territory of Pridnestrovie for personal use once every three years without paying customs duties on the legislative initiative of the PMR President Vadim Krasnoselsky.

Igor Buga added that the Supreme Council is planning to adopt this year another state program to improve housing conditions for participants in the 1992 hostilities, work on it is already underway. This program will include participants in the hostilities in Afghanistan at the suggestion of the Committee on Education, Public Associations and the Media.
