As a result of those calls, the questions were grouped and answers will be regularly presented from the "Humanitarian Center".

The other question concerns whether the people who moved to Armenia after the 2020 war can benefit from the social support programs offered by the state. In response, Nazeli Baghdasaryan noted that according to the Government's decision, these programs apply to the persons of the September 19-20 military operations and to those persons who were forcibly displaced to the Republic of Armenia after September 24.
The next question was about what to do in the absence of documents, to which the Prime Minister's press secretary stated that it’s necessary to go to the Passport Departments of the Migration and Citizenship Service to find a solution to that issue.
Once again presenting the process of receiving one-time assistance of 100,000 AMD, the press secretary noted that those who have bank cards will receive this amount in the next few days, and those who do not have bank cards should approach any nearby bank (except Mellat and Fast banks) and open a bank card account, after which they will receive the amount.

After opening a bank card account, there is no need to submit it to the Unified Social Service, it is enough just to approach the bank and open a card account.
