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.
