    YEREVAN. - Armenia's Police issued a clarification in connection with
    Tuesday's incident that occurred at capital city Yerevan's Zvartnots
    International Airport, where a Syrian-Armenian family of eight was
    denied entry to Armenia.

    "Pursuant to Armenia's Law on Foreigners, the Government specifies
    the list of countries whose citizens can apply solely to Armenia's
    diplomatic agencies abroad to be issued a visa, and solely based
    on an invitation envisioned by the given law. The given countries'
    list is specified by the Government's decision, and Syria likewise
    is included in this list.

    [Yet] Pursuant to Armenia's Law on Foreigners and by the Government's
    decision, the Armenian[-origin] citizens of these countries can be
    issued a visa at Armenia's border checkpoints without an invitation.

    The Government of Armenia specifies the list of documents that
    substantiate the fact of being Armenian.

    [And] The nine citizens of Syria, who arrived in Armenia, did not
    submit any document that substantiates their being [of] Armenian
    [origin]," the Police statement reads in particular.
