YEREVAN, JULY 18, ARMENPRESS: Diaspora Minister of the Republic
of Armenia Hranush Hakobyan hosted ambassador extraordinary and
plenipotentiary of Great Britain to Armenia Catherine Jane Leach.
"Armenpress" was informed from press service of the ministry that at
the meeting had been present president of public organization "Center
coordinating problems of Syrian Armenians" Lena Halajyan. Diaspora
minister introduced to the ambassador the problems of the Syrian
Armenians, position of Armenian authorities and implemented programs.
In her speech Hranush Hakobyan mentioned:"In Armenian-British relations
great contribution has Armenian community in Great Britain. We have
Armenians who perform themselves very actively and brightly in social,
political and business life of England. During our meeting I wish to
discuss the issue of Syrian Armenians which is very important and
urgent. Today Syrian Armenians among other issues have more urgent
problem- it is the problem of having habitation. On this occasion
Armenian government has decided to provide territory in Ashtarak region
to found district called "New Aleppo". 300 Armenains are already in
turn for living there. But it is not possible to cover all the costs
only with the help of Government.
We know that European Union spends millions of dollars for Syrians
who left for Lebanon, Turkey, Jordan but Armenia has not received
any help form international organizations. Second support I expect
from authorities of Great Britain who also can help us to implement
the foundation of that district. I hope my call will not stay
withoutreaction".
In her speech Catherine Jane Leach mentioned: "I am grateful for
reception. I think that what does Armenian government is important.
Governments of some European countries have supported Syrians and
Syrian Armenians living in Armenia also need such help. I hope we
will be able to help them".
