By the decision of the Government of the Republic of Armenia No. 1864-N, dated October 26, 2023, it has been established that the following individuals are subject to temporary protection:
Individuals registered in the population registry of Nagorno-Karabakh.
Individuals located within the territory of the Republic of Armenia or outside the Republic of Armenia, whose last registered address was in Nagorno-Karabakh.
Individuals who were not registered in the population registry of Nagorno-Karabakh, but who lived in Nagorno-Karabakh and, after being forcibly displaced as a result of the military actions launched by Azerbaijan against Nagorno-Karabakh on September 19, 2023, have been registered by the Migration and Citizenship Service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Armenia.
The status of temporary protection does not apply to individuals who are citizens of another state.
The same decision also established the procedure for issuing a document certifying the identity of a refugee granted temporary protection, according to which identity documents are issued or exchanged in the Republic of Armenia in case of registration in the state population registry, and abroad — by the diplomatic missions or consular institutions of the Republic of Armenia. The passport of a refugee granted temporary protection corresponds to the description of the passport established by the Government of the Republic of Armenia's decision No. 821, dated December 25, 1998, but its barcode is printed (or has been printed) exclusively with the code 070.
