PanARMENIAN.Net - Residents of Kuhlungsborn, a small resort city
on the Baltic Sea have hidden an Armenian family of four from the
authorities to interfere with their deportation to the homeland.
Arthur and Kristina Baveyans arrived in Germany 13 years ago and
asked for political asylum, Spiegel reports.
They bore two children in Germany, Gevorg (12) and Anna (9). Children
speak German, attend German school, go in for sports and overall have
been brought up on the German culture.
The family itself covers all its expenses, and therefore it gained
sympathy of Kuhlungsborn's residents, who had few deal with migrants
earlier. Arthur runs a doner snack bar, his wife cares after elderly
people helping them in the household.
Nevertheless, in February this year, the Inferior Ministry Committee
denied to prolong living permit for the family in Germany. The reasons
are withheld. According to some data, the authorities had suspicion
with regard to Arthur Baveyan, who, allegedly, was repeatedly charged
for law infringement earlier, Lenta.ru reports.
The family was to be deported on August 9, however it suddenly
disappeared. It was later found out that the Beveyans were hidden from
the authorities and migration services by Kuhlungsborn's residents.
Besides, they came out to the streets to protest against their
deportation. About 200 people, which is an essential number for a small
city, gathered in front of Arthur's snack bar, according to Spiegel.
The incidents in Kuhlungsborn gained broad resonance at the threshold
of forthcoming territorial elections in Mecklenburg-West Pomerania
due on September 4. Prime Minister Erwin Sellering said through its
Press Secretary that the case of Baveyans family will be re-sent to
consideration of the Inferior Ministry Committee.
