The Armenia Government has elaborated a concept of housing assistance to the residents of Artsvashen, who were forcibly displaced during the military operations on August 8, 1992.

RA Minister of Urban Development Vardan Vardanyan pointed out that at its Nov. 4 meeting the Armenian Government is to approve the concept. Under the document, 416 families will be provided with flats in residential buildings, with the rest 66 to receive financial aid for purchasing housing.

The forcibly displaced Artsvashev residents, 633 families, mostly settled down in the Gegharkunik region. To approve the families’ housing conditions, the RA Government made a number of decisions on long-term loans or financial aid to them. Despite the measures the families go on living in uninhabitable dwellings.
