President of House of Representatives of Cyprus meets NK forcibly displaced families in Armenia

President of the House of Representatives of Cyprus Annita Demetriou, as part of her visit to Armenia, has led a delegation to the Aragatsotn Province, the My Step Foundation said in a press release.

In Agarak, Demetriou met with ten families who were forcibly displaced from Nagorno-Karabakh and have been living in various communities across the province. These families, through My Step Foundation’s Economically Sustainable Families initiative, have received greenhouses as a donation to support their economic stability and social reintegration.

Demetriou met with the NK forcibly displaced families who talked about their stories and hardships resulting from the displacement. Demetriou encouraged their diligence, extending words of support.

Demetriou underscored the Cypriot government’s readiness for continuous support to change the lives of numerous people through such programs.

My Step Foundation’s Economically Sustainable Families initiative is implemented through a grant provided by the Cypriot government. 

The “Economically Sustainable Families” initiative aims to enhance agricultural capacity and develop an entrepreneurial mindset among families forcibly displaced from Nagorno-Karabakh in 2023. The initiative seeks to empower these families to achieve financial independence, integrate into their new communities, and secure long-term residency in the Republic of Armenia.
