ARMENPRESS. More than 1000 families in the Republic of Artsakh received apartments from the government in between 2021 and July of 2022. 377 of the 1000 apartments are newly built ones, mostly in Stepanakert City, which were built with funds from the Artsakh state budget, the state budget of Armenia and the Hayastan All-Armenian Fund, the government said in a video posted by President of Artsakh Arayik Harutyunyan on social media.
