ArmInfo. Parliament of Armenia has adopted the Bill On Refugees and
Refuge in the third and final reading Tuesday.
First Deputy Minister of Territorial Administration Vache Terteryan
said the Bill displays more complex approach to the problem of refugees
and provision of refuge. It regulates the national legislation on
refugees since many of them have no possibility to go deep into
the law. The Bill will considerably help them. The Bill was drafted
with active cooperation with international structures, in particular,
UNHCR Office in Yerevan. The Bill regulates the institution of refugee
and the process of providing refuge. In particular, it stipulates the
conceptions 'refugee' and 'refuge'. The Bill contains such issues as
human rights protection, the procedure of providing temporary refuge
etc. The procedure of providing refugees status and temporary refuge
was left unchanged. The Bill is of humanistic nature, covers moral,
social, economic and other problems of refugees and the people needing
temporary refuge, the deputy minister said.
