Artsakh housing crisis: 25,000 families still without permanent homes as government program falls short, says Beglaryan
Former Artsakh official reveals gaps in Armenia’s housing assistance, with most refugees forced into the expensive secondhand market while economic and employment issues remain unaddressed.
Nearly two years after the fall of Artsakh, approximately 25,000 displaced families remain without permanent housing in Armenia, despite government claims of progress on assistance programs, according to Artak Beglaryan, former Artsakh State Minister and current Founding Chairman of the Artsakh Union NGO.

Thank you for statistical data. Numbers tell the story better than words about living conditions and everyday struggle of displaced people. The process is moving slow, but there is always hope.
This article powerfully highlights how far we still have to go in addressing the housing crisis in Artsakh, with 25,000 families still without permanent homes as government programs fall short. Thank you for bringing attention to this urgent issue. Long term housing solutions must be more than numbers on a scoreboard, they must restore dignity, stability, and opportunity for displaced families. 
I’d love to see: 1 Clear timelines and measurable housing deliverables from authorities and partners. 2. Community driven planning, so displaced families have a voice in what “home” looks like for them. 3.Greater engagement from diaspora organizations and NGOs to help scale innovative housing models
Housing isn’t just structures, four walls and a roof, it’s people, identity, community, and the foundation for rebuilding lives after displacement. Artsakh’s people deserve solutions that are durable, inclusive, and humane
Our efforts at Lorik Fund help, Armenians Reliefe Society’s Hearths of Hope help, Tufenkian’s Svarants project help, but diaspoara engagement is low, too low, and government is nonexistent….They say and do nothing for the refugees
YOU ARE WELCOME. THANK YOU FOLLOWING TO HELP
THEIR IS ARTSAKH HOUSING CRISIS: 25000 FAMILIES
STILL WITHOUT PERMENENT HOUSING.
IWILL TRY TO SEND YOU THE REPORT FROM ARMENIA.
MAKE SURE THEY ARENOT LYING. THEY HAVE PHOTOGRAPHS.
The mass exodus of the Artsakh Armenians began on September 23, 2023, and within a span of few days, some 120,000 Artsakh Armenians came to Armenia. It means Armenia, accommodated the addition of 4% of its population, assuming the population of Armenia is 3 million. If we were to draw a comparison, it would mean that the U.S. had to accommodate 12 million refugees within that same time frame.
However imperfect or lacking the assistance may have been, undeniably the government did all it could by providing medical services, placing the children in the schools of Armenia, providing working, employment, housing opportunities. I am left with the impression tha the impression thադ the institutional Armenian Diaspora is failing in providing necessary humanitarian aid.
