Tatev ’s life was forever changed when the conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh forced her family to flee their home in September 2023. Along with her husband, two children, and two extended family members, Tatev arrived in Hrazdan, Armenia, with little more than the uncertainty of what would come next. The weight of the unknown was heavy, and she struggled to find hope in a place that felt so unfamiliar.
In the autumn of 2020, life changed in an instant for thousands of families in Nagorno-Karabakh. A brutal 44-day war broke out between Azerbaijan and Nagorno-Karabakh, forcing thousands to flee their homes. For children, it meant losing not only their homes but also the safety and innocence of early childhood. Nare was only three years old when her family escaped to Armenia in search of safety. After some time, they returned home, hoping for stability.

NK Crisis: In autumn 2023, Armenia experienced a massive influx of individuals following the escalation of the Nagorno-Karabakh (NK) conflict starting on 19 September. According to the Government of Armenia, over 100.000 people arrived in Armenia at the end of September 2023 to seek support for the settlement in their new home. Those displaced to Armenia left behind their homes, valuables, livelihoods, essentially most of what constituted their material possessions. The mental and emotional strain that the displaced have endured over months will affect them for years to come. It is expected that this will have a serious impact on their physical and mental health as well as their social and economic integration.
