YEREVAN. - Armenian PM Tigran Sargsyan chaired a consultation meeting
devoted to the problems that Syrian Armenians face in Armenia.
He was reported that the Syrian Armenians who have arrived in Armenia
cannot return to Syria at present and, since they have not come to
Armenia for permanent residency, their personal property - including
automobiles - cannot be exempted from customs duty, the Government press
service informs.
In addition, the payment of customs duty, or the continuous extension
of these vehicles' authorization to be operated in Armenia, is
problematic for the Syrian Armenians, who already have financial
difficulties.
Considering the urgency of this matter, Sargsyan instructed State
Revenue Committee Chairman Gagik Khachatryan to temporarily exempt
Syrian Armenians from paying customs duty and to permit them to
operate their vehicles in Armenia without paying any fees or fines.
The PM once again urged the relevant authorities to keep the Syrian
Armenians' matters at the focus of their attention and to find exact
solutions to the problems.
