As a result of the closure of the Lachin Corridor, the children of Artsakh who remained in Armenia, attend RA schools

With the cooperation of the Ministry of Education and Culture of the Republic of Armenia, the Yerevan Municipality, and the Syunik Governor's Office, the school-age children from Artsakh attend public schools in Goris and Yerevan, as well as vocational schools, due to the educational needs of the children.

As reported by the Ministry of Education and Culture of the Republic of Armenia, the lists provided by the Ministry of Education and Culture of Artsakh were used as the basis for the placement of students in schools.

RA territorial pedagogic-psychological support centers actively work with Artsakh children, providing psychological support.

In order to ensure the continuity of children's education, the RA Ministry of Education and Culture is in constant contact with the Artsakh Ministry of Education and Culture.

Since December 12, 2022, Azerbaijan has closed the Lachin Corridor connecting Artsakh to Armenia, as a result of which 120,000 residents of Artsakh, including 30,000 children, were under siege. 1100 civilians, including 270 minors, cannot return from Armenia to Artsakh.

Because of the blockade, it is not possible to deliver 400 tons of food and medicine from Armenia to Artsakh every day, as a result of which there is a shortage of food and medicine.

350 patients cannot receive treatment in Armenia. 13 children are in the neonatal and intensive care units, and 13 patients are in the intensive care unit. 6 are in critical condition. During these days, 13 Armenians and 4 foreigners in need of emergency medical care were transferred to Armenia only through the mediation of the Red Cross, and one of the patients in Artsakh who needed medical care and was in critical condition died.
