Nearly 3,000 Karabakh-displaced families have purchased homes in Armenia so far

Presenting the 2025 state budget execution report to lawmakers on Tuesday, the Deputy Prime Minister said that 26,432 people are included in the families that have received certificates. More than 2,970 of those families, or around 13,400 people, have already purchased a house or apartment.

“As of May 31, 2026, within the framework of the program, certificates have been issued to 6,444 families, which include 26,432 people. More than 2,970 families, or 13,400 people, have already purchased their house or apartment,” Khachatryan said.

The Deputy Prime Minister said that in 2025, as in previous years, improving the environment for the socio-economic integration of citizens displaced from Karabakh continued to remain one of the main priorities of the Pashinyan administration.

According to him, the programs implemented by the government since September 2023 have made it possible not only to effectively manage the crisis but also to create conditions for transitioning from urgent assistance to socio-economic integration.

Changes were made to the housing provision program in 2025. If, at the initial stage, the issuance of certificates for purchasing housing was planned according to a certain order, then starting from July 1, 2025, the opportunity to receive a certificate was opened to all families meeting the program’s conditions, regardless of family composition.

The Deputy Prime Minister also noted that the list of settlements where the amount of support per person for purchasing an apartment or house was increased from 3 million drams to 4 million drams had been expanded.

According to him, previously, the 4 million dram amount was intended for 452 settlements, while after the changes it was applied to 611 settlements.

Khachatryan added that improvements to the program continued in March 2026 as well. In settlements of the regions bordering Yerevan, the certificate amount allocated per person was also increased to 4 million drams from 3 million drams.

“The improvement also applied to beneficiaries of previously utilized certificates, allowing the additional financial resources to be used for other expenditure directions envisaged by the support program,” the Deputy Prime Minister noted.

According to Khachatryan, within the framework of the Government’s support, the value of apartments purchased by displaced citizens amounts to around 48 billion drams.

He emphasized that if the repayment of loans provided by financing commercial banks, as well as the interest servicing expenses that will be covered by budgetary funds in the coming years, are taken into account, the total amount of the Government’s obligations undertaken within the framework of the program has already reached 85 billion drams.
