The powers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs prescribed by law for the management of the “Special Accommodation” State Non-Commercial Organisation (SNCO) are vested in the Ministry.

The “Special Accommodation” SNCO accommodates foreign nationals seeking asylum in the Republic of Armenia. They may reside at the facility throughout all stages of the proceedings concerning their cases. Accommodation is temporary and continues until a final decision is made on their asylum applications.

The State provides asylum seekers residing at the facility with the necessary living conditions.

Living conditions at the facility have improved significantly. The premises are more spacious, allowing the facility to accommodate twice as many asylum seekers. Separate rooms are available for children and adults to rest and engage in leisure activities. In addition to standard twin rooms, the facility has seven apartments with two or three rooms. These apartments have separate entrances, kitchens and bathrooms and are intended primarily for large families.
