At the June 22 session, the Artsakh Republic government adopted a decision to buy an apartment or a house, or to build a house for families with five or more children from January 1, 2018. According to the State Program, this right applies also for families who have got five or more children from January 1, 2016 to January 1, 2018.

In an interview with Aravot.am, Artsakh Republic Minister of Labour and Social Affairs Samvel Avanesyan said, that the state program for buying or constructing apartments or houses for large families has been functioning since 2000, within the framework of the program stimulating birth and large families: “At that time, this decision referred only to families with seven or more children. Then, in 2004, the government’s decision was revised and families with six underage children were included in the program. Now, according to the June 22 decision adopted by the government, this project will also apply for the families who have children under age five”.

As Samvel Avanesyan mentions, the provision of these apartments to the families by the government will be implemented within three years after the adoption of the decision, and to those families who have obtained this right from January 1, 2016 to January 1, 2018, within five years.

“Before this program, the Armenia pan-Armenian fund also had made a program to provide the families with five underage children with apartments. In 2015, it was planned to build houses for 33 families. At present, construction of 16 houses has been completed and handed over to owners, while the construction of remaining 17 houses is underway”, the minister noted.

Touching upon the number of families with 6 or more underage children provided with apartments or houses by the government, the minister notes: “Yet not all of the planned houses have been handed over to families because of the ongoing construction works. However, if we mention it in general, then since 2000, 493 families have been and will be provided with apartments or houses”.
