YEREVAN, JULY 23, ARMENPRESS: It is too early to speak about
immigration of Syrian Armenians: yet only four families have submitted
their applications to the Ministry of Diaspora for living in their
homeland, who have been provided with appropriate accommodation. As
Minister of Diaspora of the Republic of Armenia Hranush Hakobyan
told at the briefing with Armenpress, there is no grave information
about the immigration as our compatriots do not want to raise the
issue of immigration, but want to solve the task of education for
children." I am in touch with our compatriots of Syria, both with the
state structure and diocese representatives. They are really concerned"
the Minister noted.
Syrian Armenians attend the Ministry as soon as they arrive Armenia,
where a special working group is created. Our compatriots mainly
raise the issue of education. In the words of Hakobyan many are
taking their summer vocations here, yet want their children study in
Armenian schools and high educational institutions." We have applied
to the Ministry of Education and Science in the context of education
issues" the interlocutor told. The second problem Syrian Armenians
are concerned with refers to abating passports from Syria: Armenian
President have commissioned the legislative bodies to regulate the
issue. " Our Ministry has already prepared Government draft resolution
and has already sent to various head quarters, which will enable a
chance to our compatriots living in Syria to receive their passports
in the place they are located at that particular time .
Other country citizens can not enjoy this right, they have to come
to Armenia and only later get their passports" Minister underscored.
The other not less important issue pertains to visa, so that our
compatriots could receive visas in the border. This problem has already
been envisaged in Ministerial Committee and is scheduled to be touched
upon at the course of coming Executive Body session. Measures are
undertaken concerning the job issues of our compatriots. Diaspora
and Labor and Social Affairs Ministries are collaborating offering
the existing vacancies in employment services.
"More than hundreds of Armenians have turned to the Ministry, and
one could hardly find anybody whose issue was not settled" Minister
assures. " There is not a state structure which is not ready to
solve the problems of Syrian Armenians. We wish quick resolution,
establishment of peace, as our compatriots are concerned about their
activities, property, business" Hakobyan noted.
