Whereas most of the refugees who arrived in Azerbaijan between 1988 and 1991 have managed to integrate, including acquiring Azerbaijani citizenship, a large majority of IDPs still live in a temporary situation, hoping to be able to return to their homes one day. The existing resources in the public sector are not sufficient to ensure significant improvement in the living conditions of these IDPs. The main problem is the shortcoming of contributions towards the 1999 Global Appeal . The adoption of the Law on Citizenship has permitted the automatic acquisition by refugees from Armenia of Azerbaijani citizenship. A new Law on Refugees was adopted this year, which will enable non-CIS refugees to receive refugee status as well.
Assistance also includes income-generation, health care, education and community services.
