In 2023, the government of Armenia plans to allocate 2 billion drams (approx. US$ 5 million) from the state budget to families forcibly displaced from some regions of Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh). Narek Mkrtchyan, the Minister of Labor and Social Affairs, stated this in the National Assembly (NA), at Friday’s joint session of NA standing committees, during the latter’s debates on the draft 2023 state budget of Armenia.

The respective program, in particular, will enable the aforesaid families to purchase residential real estate or build a private house.

Also, the minister recalled that in October, the government improved the existing decision, according to which a displaced person's family can receive additional support if they buy or build real estate in a border village.

"As a result of the introduced changes, the amount that will be charged for the registration of property rights in case of purchase or construction will also be subsidized," Mkrtchyan added.
