YEREVAN, APRIL 12, ARMENPRESS. The government of Armenia approved N283 decision on March 10, 2022, according to which the implementation of the housing program for families, who have been forcefully displaced from Azerbaijan in 1988-1992 and live in temporary shelters, will launch in the provinces of Armenia, the Migration Service told Armenpress.
According to a study conducted in 2013, 254 families in provinces are considered to be the potential beneficiaries of the program. Currently, the process of re-registration of potential beneficiaries living in provinces is underway. The representatives of the Migration Services and the Governorates visited the refugee families registered in the temporary shelters in Armavir and Aragatsotn provinces. Since March, the re-registration is carried out in Ararat province and will also be conducted in Kotayk from April.
