The Azerbaijani embassy in Syria asked the Iraqi embassy about
reports that Armenians from Syria are being resettled in occupied
Azerbaijani land.
The Iraqi embassy in Damascus responded that, according to a report
by the Syrian office of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, 1,223
Iraqi refugees of Armenian ethnic origin were registered with the
UNHCR's Damascus office as of 31 March 2010.
The UNHCR says that Iraqi refugees in Syria are placed in the countries
of Western and Central Europe and North America. The report provides
no information about any operations to settle Iraqi refugees in either
Armenia or Azerbaijan, the letter from the Iraqi embassy said.
