In this context, the President instructed the heads of  administrations in the coming days to complete the lists and submit  them to the authorized state bodies.

He stressed that apart from renovation, these apartments will be  equipped with the necessary minimum property and equipment. The  families settled in these apartments will also be provided with funds  for the development of economic activity.  During the year, within  the framework of state, charitable and other programs of assistance  in the communities, fast- building houses with all the conditions  necessary for life will be installed.  The President said that thanks  to the effective efforts of the government, a large amount of  infrastructure was restored in a short time, the majority of which  was completely destroyed as a result of rocket attacks on the enemy.

He stated that large-scale programs are also planned to pave  inter-rural roads, increase irrigated land and encourage agricultural  work.

However, this  proposal for the social assistance program must be finalized and  approved by the Government of Armenia.
