The Armenian Lawyers Association (ALA) once again proved its effectiveness by protecting the rights of a family forcibly displaced from Artsakh.

Arevik Melkumyan had applied to the Ejmiatsin regional department of the Migration and Citizenship Service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to register in the Republic of Armenia and receive a temporary protection (refugee) certificate, but they refused to accept her application, citing the absence of her parents' marriage certificate

Within the framework of the “Strengthening Mechanisms for the Protection of the Rights of Persons Forcibly Displaced from Nagorno-Karabakh” project, the Armenian Lawyers’ Association (ALA) provides free legal assistance to forcibly displaced persons in vulnerable situations, including socially disadvantaged and unemployed individuals, persons with disabilities, students, women, and others.
