to the Commission
Rule 144
Barbara Bonte (PfE)

Azerbaijan’s war of aggression against the Armenian population of Nagorno-Karabakh led to a mass exodus of Artsakh’s indigenous population to Armenia in 2023. That country did not have the resources to house the more than 100 000 refugees in the short term – one in 30 Armenians is a refugee from Artsakh – and provide an economic future.

• 1.What funding has the Commission provided to help integrate the refugees from Artsakh in Armenia?
• 2.Has the Commission redirected development aid funds for that purpose?
• 3.What tangible impact has EU aid had on the problematic housing situation of refugees in Armenia?
