Since the Shurnukh and Vorotan settlements of Syunik Province of Armenia are currently under Azerbaijani control, the citizens registered or having actually resided in those settlements and have lost residential real estate registered at the address of another place of residence in Armenia, will receive social assistance for another five months.

The government adopted the relevant decision. According to the rationale, through this action, beneficiaries receive AMD 300,000 lump-sum assistance and AMD 68,000 monthly assistance. The beneficiaries have already received their lump-sum payments and the monthly financial assistance for the months of February-July 2021, but taking into consideration the current events, the government found it appropriate to continue to provide assistance for another five months.

Moreover, financial assistance, including AMD 300,000 lump-sum will be provided to children born after July 1, 2021, that is, children whose parent is a beneficiary having received assistance through the action.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
