countries.
They received a resettler's status and enjoy privileges given by the
government. In total, 105 houses have been built for resettlers, and
another 38 have been renovated. The number of refugees registered by
the NKR [Nagornyy Karabakh republic] Department for Migration,
Refugees and Resettlers, stands at 3,840. According to Serzh
Amirkhanayn, head of the department, the process of registering
refugees is coming to an end. The main efforts in 2008-10 will be
directed towards resolving the housing problems of refugees. In 2006,
26 houses were built and renovated for the refugees, and 11 of them
are in Stepanakert. In addition, 24 houses were acquired for
refugees. Last year [2006], about 1bn drams [about 2.8m dollars] were
spent on the programme. Forms now are being filled in to identify the
size of moral and material damages each family has incurred so that to
provide them with compensation in the future. Another 12 houses will
be built for refugee families in 2007. According to Amirkhanyan, the
efforts of Armenia, Artsakh [Karabakh] and the [Armenian] diaspora
need to be consolidated to solve the problems of refugees.
