Yerevan/Mediamax/. Since the start of the Syrian conflict, Armenia
has received about 5000 refugees from this country and the majority
of them are ethnic Armenians.
Head of Yerevan Office of United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees
(UNHCR) Damtew Dessalegne stated this today, Mediamax reports.
"Only 400 out of 5000 Syrians applied for getting a status of
refugees. 150 of them have already gained the status", said the Head
of the Office.
He noted that the Syrian Armenians don't feel the need for getting
an official refuge in Armenia as the Armenian government considers
them as compatriots.

to Syria after the situation is settled in the country, noted Damtew
