Living in a kindergarten
Kindergartens in different cities of Armenia have become shelters for refugees. Some of the displaced persons from Karabakh spend days there in difficult living conditions, with uncertain future.
From September 24 to October 20, 101,848 refugees were registered in Armenia, according to the Armenian government. Some found shelter, others got help.
Some complain, however, that the money is not enough to rent houses and live normally. On October 20 a group of Nagorno-Karabakh Armenians gathered in front of the region’s representative office in Yerevan, protesting the lack of affordable housing and other issues.
Some of the displaced people from Nagorno Karabakh are still housed in government-run temporary accommodations, including old or empty buildings.
Kindergartens in the small Armenian towns of Masis and Artashat have become shelters for refugees struggling to find more suitable housing.
