YEREVAN, MARCH 27, NOYAN TAPAN. It is already the 4th year a state program under the title Apartment Provision of People Who Repressed from Azerbaijan is implemented in Armenia. Apartment purchase certificates are provided to refugees under the program. This year the program will be implemented in Yerevan, for which 815m drams (more than 2.6m USD) has been allocated from the state budget. As Noyan Tapan correspondent was informed by Gagik Yeganian, the Head of the Migration Agency of the RA Ministry of Territorial Administration, the program's beneficiaries of this year are 23 families living in the student hostel in Yerevan, Moldovakan, 70. Besides, according to him, the agency proposed the RA Ministry of Urban Development involving other families as well in this year's program if possible. G. Yeganian said that the number of families needing an apartment in Yerevan is nearly 1100. In total, nearly 30m USD is needed to provide them with apartments. It was also mentioned that the program has been already implemented in the country's regions. 900 out of 1200 beneficiaries of the program have purchased apartments so far. And the rest 300, according to G. Yeganian, have failed to purchase apartments yet for different reasons. One of the reasons was that the certificate's value did not correspond to the prices of real estate sold in the given territory. G. Yeganian said that the latters continue to be considered program's beneficiaries. Their problem will be solved in the future.
