The people forcibly displaced from the Azerbaijani-occupied Shahumyan, Kashatagh, Shushi and Hadrut regions of the Artsakh Republic staged a protest outside the Armenian government building on Thursday.
The displaced people claim that they have been left out of the state support program, stating the headquarters in Armenia dealing with the issues of those displaced from Artsakh provide no assistance to them. The demonstrators demand that the authorities provide them with housing in any region of Armenia.
They note that if they do not receive support, they will have to apply to foreign embassies for asylum.
Artur Stepanyan, a resident of Hadrut, said that they demand a meeting with Deputy Prime Minister Mher Grigoryan and are clarifying the day and time.
The displaced Artsakh residents said that the protests will be continuous and will be held in front of foreign embassies.
