    HAYKAKAN ZHAMANAK: ARMENIAN AUTHORITIES CREATE OBSTACLES FOR SYRIAN-ARMENIANS

    The Armenian authorities have adopted official policies to create
    obstacles for the Syrian-Armenians wishing to travel to their homeland
    amid the mounting crisis, the paper says commenting on the increased
    air fares on the Yerevan-Aleppo flights.

    It has quoted Tevos Nersisyan, a spokesperson at the Ministry of
    Diaspora, as saying that they do not wish the country's Armenian
    community to split apart.

    "Officials from other government agencies have said the same
    non-officially. with different hints and wordings. That's to say,
    the authorities are not, mildly speaking, enthusiastic about the plan
    to host the Syrian-Armenians. And this happens amid the increasing
    emigration from Armenia. It turns out the Diaspora-Armenians are
    important for us only for sending transfers, visiting Armenia for
    a couple of days to see Ararat and hire extremely expensive rooms
    in hotels belonging to officials and justify the existence of the
    Ministry of Diaspora," comments the paper.
