PanARMENIAN.Net - Hayazn Union has issued a statement urging to
immediately provide all Syrian Armenians who wish to leave the country
with Armenian passports.
`A large number of Armenians are currently unable to flee Syria after
the state organizations authorized to grant them the right to exit
from the country halted operation.
Armenian high-ranking officials have repeatedly expressed readiness to
take emergency measures in case the situation further exacerbates.
However, our compatriots are currently left to the mercy of fate due
to the lack of prompt steps. Many Syrian Armenians are in need of RA
passports and any further delay may have tragic consequences.
We urge to immediately provide all Syrian Armenians who wish to leave
the country with Armenian passports,' the statement reads.
