Armenia allocates 55 billion AMD in 2026 budget for relief programs of Karabakh's displaced persons

The Armenian government will allocate 55 billion drams next year to meet the needs of the forcibly displaced persons from Karabakh, Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said on Monday.

“55 billion drams will be allocated to address the housing and other needs of our brothers and sisters from Karabakh,” Pashinyan said at a joint parliamentary committee hearing on the 2026 budget bill.

Nearly 120,000 Karabakh Armenians fled to Armenia during the 2023 Azerbaijani offensive. Armenia granted them the status of forcibly displaced persons and has been implementing various relief programs since.
