Armenian PM Andranik Margaryan has today met Rude Luuberse, High
Commissioner of UN' Refugee Office. According to PM, UNO assistance
in settlement of refugees' problems is inestimable.
Andranik Margaryan informed that solution to the social and
economic, dwelling and other problems of refugees is entered in the
Strategic Program on Poverty Reduction, implemented by the Armenian
Government. PM said unfortunately, the means of the Armenian Government
are not enough to completely solve the problems of those resettled
because of conflict.
The last registration of refugees residing in Armenia was conducted
in 1997. The number of refugees made 311.000. But taking into account
the migration processes of recent years, the figure now needs to make
more accurate.
Mr. Rude Luuberse appraised deeply the position of Armenian Government
over integration of refugees resettled by force from Azerbaijan
and settlement of their social problems. He expressed willingness
to continue cooperation with Armenian Government. Luuberse stressed
implementation of program on refugees' registration. He said he would
make a similar suggestion to the Azerbaijani Authorities, too.
