This report provides an overview of developments from April to May 2024. As of May 2024, over 115,257 refugees fled to Armenia following the escalation of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict in September 2023, recognized under Armenia's Temporary Protection regime outlined in the Law on Refugees and Asylum (2008). Temporary protection, initially granted for one year starting October 28, 2023, can be extended based on government decisions. Currently, 91,479 refugees have received documentation, and 1,855 have applied for naturalization.
The emergency phase of the Armenia Refugee Response concluded in March 2024. During this phase, partners collaborated across five sectors: Protection (including Child Protection and Gender-Based Violence), Education,
Health, Basic Needs (Shelter/Non-Food Items and Food Security), and Resilience. This collective effort provided crucial humanitarian assistance to refugees.
As the response transitions into the mid-to-long term, discussions are underway with the government to outline a blueprint for supporting government systems and addressing residual humanitarian needs. Inter-agency partners continue to support government-led efforts, focusing on sustainable solutions and integrated support across sectors.
