Artsakh residents protesting outside the government building, demanding payment of funds under "40+10" support program

ArmInfo. In Yerevan, Artsakh  residents are holding a protest outside the government building of  Armenia, demanding payment of funds under the "40+10" support  program.  The protesters note that some of them,  were not included  in the lists for various reasons and did not receive benefits from  this program.

As the protesters explained in a conversation with journalists, many  of them lost financial assistance because they were outside of  Artsakh before the blockade and did not have time to return before  the roads were closed. This led to them being denied  beneficiary  status under the program.  Despite being in Yerevan for over a year  and having applied to the immigration service, some of the protestors   have not received any assistance. They also emphasized that among  them are pensioners who lost their pensions after the mass  deportation.  The protesters claim that when they ask for help, they  are denied, with officials stating that their names are not on the  lists. They are advised to demand a solution to their issues from the  Artsakh authorities, rather than the Armenian government.
