More than 26,000 refugees from Karabakh have received Armenian citizenship. The displaced persons themselves described the decision as forced; they needed to obtain an Armenian passport to find work and participate in a housing program. Karabakh human rights activists believe that accepting Armenian citizenship does not deprive the refugees of their right to return.
