Some 20,000 Nagorno-Karabakh Armenians employed in Armenia - official 

ArmInfo. About 20 thousand internally displaced persons from Artsakh found employment in  Armenia. In addition, several hundred Artsakh residents have already applied for participation in the government's housing program, Deputy Minister of Labor and Social Affairs David Khachatryan said on July  10 in a conversation with reporters.

"According to the State Revenue Committee of Armenia, as of April  there were 15-16 thousand officially employed," he said, adding that  over the past period their number has increased. In addition, many,  although they found work, were not officially registered. "For  example, many taxi drivers, who, as we see, are migrants from  Artsakh," he noted. According to the deputy minister, the number of  officially employed Artsakh residents will increase - it is only a  matter of time.

Regarding the issues of providing migrants from Artsakh with housing  in the Republic of Armenia, the Deputy Minister noted that several  hundred Artsakh residents have already applied to participate in the  government program and receive certificates for the purchase of  apartments. The certificate issued to each person provides for the  allocation of 3 to 5 million drams for each family member. The area  of the purchased apartment should not be less than 12 square meters  per family member, and the price of the apartment cannot exceed 55  million drams, Khachatryan recalled.
