A Nation Facing Displacement and Economic Struggles

Armenia, though small, is grappling with significant challenges, especially due to the aftermath of the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh war. The conflict displaced over 100,000 ethnic Armenians, with many of them still living in temporary shelters or urban areas. Additionally, Armenia's unemployment rate is high, with about 18% of the population affected, and over 25% of the population lives below the poverty line. The country also faces food insecurity, with almost 40% of rural households struggling to meet their basic nutritional needs. Christian Armenians, who make up the majority of the population, continue to navigate regional tensions, with religious minorities, including Yazidis and other smaller Christian groups, also facing discrimination and hardships.
