Yerevan to spend AMD 22.3M for housing civilians displaced by war

PanARMENIAN.Net - The Yerevan City Council has decided to allocate over AMD 22.3 million for the resettlement of people temporarily residing in Armenia as a result of the 2020 war in Nagorno-Karabakh.

First Deputy Mayor Levon Hovhannisyan said, however, that the budget of Yerevan for 2022 does not provide funds for tackling the housing problems of civilians displaced from Azerbaijan during the First Karabakh War in the 1990s.

The Second Karabakh war lasted 44 days and ended when Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, Russian and Azerbaijani Presidents Vladimir Putin and Ilham Aliyev signed a ceasefire statement on November 9, 2020. Under the deal, the Armenian side returned all the seven regions surrounding Nagorno-Karabakh, having lost a part of Karabakh itself in hostilities.
