230 houses in the village of Haterk were destroyed by the war. The
problem of housing is urgent in the village. According to the mayor
of the village Kolya Iskandaryan, the rate of reconstruction is
unsatisfactory. "43 families do not have their own houses," said
Kolya Iskandaryan.

Last year the Armenian Relief Fund financed the reconstruction of 13
houses, but the quality of repair was low, whereas the administration
of the village does not have the right to interfere. The government
and Armenia Foundation co-financed the construction of houses for
the families of killed soldiers and large families.

According to the head of the community, after returning to the
liberated village very few people could afford to reconstruct their
houses. Besides, 17 families displaced from Azerbaijan are still
living in other people’s houses.

Although there are abandoned houses in the village, which belong to
people who left for Russia after the occupation of the village.
