Pashinyan: Full support for Karabakh displaced persons to permanently settle in Armenia

Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan reaffirmed on Wednesday that the Armenian government must support Armenians displaced from Karabakh in settling in Armenia.

Speaking at the conference titled “Inclusive Development: Achievements and Tasks,” he said:

“I consider it very important that we help our brothers and sisters displaced from Karabakh overcome their state of psychological uncertainty. I believe we should focus on providing full support to ensure that they obtain citizenship of the Republic of Armenia, settle in Armenia, and permanently link their future with Armenia. This is very important both politically and psychologically.”

Pashinyan emphasized that since 2023, he has personally maintained regular contact with individuals displaced from Karabakh, familiarizing himself with their problems and providing responses.

“Since 2023, around 145 billion AMD has been allocated from the state budget of Armenia through various programs to meet the needs of our compatriots displaced from Karabakh,” he said.

The Prime Minister added that, with government support, 1,700 families have already acquired housing in Armenia.
