The Armenian refugees living in Karabakh do not have an international
status because the state is not recognized. In 2004 the NKR parliament
passed the law on refugees, according to which the Armenians who
lived in different regions of Azerbaijan and were displaced by the
Karabakh-Azerbaijani conflict received the status of a refugee. Over
the past 3 years the government has paid them a small sum of
compensation for their lost property.

The deputy chair of the NGO of Refugees of NKR Ruzanna Avagyan told
Karabakh-Open.com the NGO and the Department of Refugees and Migration
of the NKR government are going to turn to the UN Commission for an
international status for the refugees of Karabakh.
