AUSTRALIAN LEGISLATORS CALL ON FOREIGN MINISTER FOR IMMEDIATE ACTION IN PROVIDING FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TO SYRIAN-ARMENIANS
13:05, 19 December, 2012
The Armenian National Committee of Australia (ANC Australia) reports
that there is growing support for the Australian government to provide
assistance to Syrian-Armenians who have fled the conflict in Syria.
The Armenian National Committee of Australia informed "Armenpress"
that the Federal Member for Hunter, Joel Fitzgibbon, and the Federal
Member for Bradfield, Paul Fletcher, have written to Australia's
Foreign Minister Bob Carr calling for immediate action in providing
financial assistance to the Republic of Armenia for Syrian refugees.
Walt Secord, Member of the Legislative Council in New South Wales,
has also written to the Foreign Minister calling for action.
ANC Australia Executive Director Vache Kahramanian said: "We thank
those members for making direct representations to the Foreign
Minister. Time is of the essence and it is vital that aid reaches
all those who are in need during these difficult times."
ANC Australia had recently reported that it is working to secure a
part of Australia's commitment of $24.5 million to be allocated to
the Republic of Armenia.
Over 4,000 Syrian-Armenians have already fled from Syria to Armenia
to escape the increasing violence and devastation.
