In the elapsed period of 2025, 105 appeals have been submitted to the court on this issue. Of these, 38 have been ruled in favor of the State Committee, 42 are under review, 7 have been rejected, and 18 have been left unconsidered. Note that when determining the internally displaced family to be granted a vacated apartment, preference is given to families of martyrs and war participants among the internally displaced persons.”
