In 2025, as in previous years, issues of improving the socio-economic integration environment of our compatriots displaced from Karabakh continued to remain among the main priorities of the RA government. RA Deputy Prime Minister Tigran Khachatryan announced this at the session of the National Assembly on June 16, referring to the support provided to our compatriots displaced from Karabakh during the implementation of the 2025 state budget.

According to him, the programs implemented by the Government in this direction since September 2023 allowed not only to effectively manage the crisis, but also created reliable prerequisites for ensuring the transition from urgent support to socio-economic integration.

“If in 2023-2024 the Government’s priority in the support formats financed by budget programs was the compensation of the living expenses of the displaced, including the rents, then in 2025 the implementation of housing solutions, as well as the implementation of programs that strengthen decent well-being through self-employment, was considered a priority,” said the Deputy Prime Minister.
