28 Years and Counting: Refugees Still Waiting for Housing
Only one bus, the #39, makes its way to the section of Yerevan called Korea Valley. It's only been operating for the past few years. Residents say that before the bus arrived, they would make the trip by foot.
There's a boarding school in the neighborhood where scores of Armenians fleeing from Baku 28 years ago were resettled in one of its buildings. Now only six families remain.
Armenia's government has yet to get permanent housing for these refugee families. Many have received Armenian citizenship allowing them to travel. The government, however, keeps promising the families who have remained that they are on a list for housing.
