Yerevan, 28 November: About 240 families or more than 600 people
have moved from Armenia to the Nagornyy Karabakh republic [NKR]
for permanent residency from the beginning of 2006.

The majority of the migrants are refugees of Karabakh from Azerbaijan,
the chief of the NKR government’s department for migration, refugees
and resettlement, Pavel Nadzharyan, told Mediamax.

These people are provided with accommodation within the framework of
the government programme that has been implemented since 2003.

About 1bn drams [2.28 m dollars] has been allocated from the NKR
state budget for providing accommodation to migrants and refugees,
the sum is 200m drams more than that allocated in 2005.

The state provides a [migrant] family with accommodation and a plot
of land, a one-off grant to the tune of 20,000 drams [46 dollars]
per person and a loan for purchasing livestock, seeds and diesel oil.
