2024 budget to envisage preliminary 10 billion drams for forcibly displaced persons from NK

YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 28, ARMENPRESS. The 2024 state budget will preliminary allocate a total of 10 billion drams for the forcibly displaced persons from Nagorno-Karabakh, finance minister Vahe Hovhannisyan said at the Cabinet meeting.

“We are approving the budget in an environment when we have tens of thousands of forcibly displaced refugees, whom we must take or of, and ensure their dignified accommodation in the mid-term. Not having a concrete number on the forcibly displaced at this moment, we are defining a clear point in the state budget, preliminarily envisaging 10 billion drams, with the possibility of increasing it as needed,” Hovhannisyan said at the 2024 budget discussion.
