A new housing program will be launched for socially vulnerable families with five or more children, Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan announced on Saturday during a trip to Gegharkunik province.

“The key point is that we will offer them land plots in settlements where a new school has been built and there is available capacity for students,” he said during a meeting with locals in Martuni.

“The challenge is that, respectfully, we cannot provide homes in downtown Yerevan or central Martuni for everyone who wants a house. Therefore, in settlements with new schools and space for students, we will implement a program similar to the 16 million AMD initiative — funds will be provided, and land plots will also be allocated, so they can go and build their homes,” the Prime Minister explained.
