MORE THAN 10 THOUSAND REFUGEES LIVING IN GEGHARKUNIK REGION NOT
PROVIDED WITH APARTMENTS YET
GAVAR, MARCH 10, NOYAN TAPAN. 10400 refugees live in the Gegharkunik
region at present. Most of them aren’t provided with apartments. But,
according to the RA government’s decision adopted in 2004, it’s
envisaged to implement the program of providing with a permanent
dwelling the persons who have been deported from Azerbaijan in
1988-1992 and urgently need a flat. Certificates for an apartment have
been already given to 39 refugee families living in temporary
dwellings. 19 of them have already found flats and 4 will have them in
March.
More than 30% of 7400 Chambarak residents, including refugees and
internally displaced people, still lives at apartments built 200 years
ago and formerly populated by molokans. The Chambarak Mayor expects RA
government’s support for the purpose of solving this problem.
