THE TERMS OF PRESENTING APPLICATIONS FOR GRANTING THE REFUGEES DEPORTED FROM AZERBAIJAN PROPERTY RIGHT FOR THE APARTEMENTS OCCUPIED BY THEM WILL BE PROLONGED

YEREVAN, MAY 17,NOYAN TAPAN. In the special session of May 17 the RA
National Assembly discissed in the first reading the bill presented
by the government, which envisaged making a change in the RA law
“About giving the property right to the refugees deported from the
Azarbaijani Republic from 1988-1992 for the apartments built for the
refugees”. Under the above-mentioned change it is proposed to prolong
the term of presenting the refugees’ applications for giving them the
property right for the occupied apartments. According to the Head of
the migration and refugees’ department attached to the RA government
Gagik Yeganyan, this is conditionded by the fact that in the terms
defined by the law valid from December 18, 2002, part of the refugees
which have got a residence, about 500 families, have not been able to
present an application and get the property right for those apartments
(by different reasons, including the absence from the republic). Only
3653 families of the refugees have enjoyed that right by now. The
government also suggests regulating the legal relations connected
with managing the apartments which failed to be privatized in the
due terms. Such apartments will be considered as part of the state
housing fund and will be managed by the authorized governmental
body responsible for the problems of refugees. The later change is
conditioned by the necessity of providing the vacant apartments to
numerous homless refugees’ families present in the republic, and by
the necessity of realizing proper control over this process.
