Armenian president pledges continued assistance to Syrian Armenians
YEREVAN
YEREVAN, May 31 -- Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan pledged on
Thursday to continue assistance to Armenians living in Syria.
"We as a state and as a people have provided support for our brothers
and sisters, and will continue to do so regardless of where they live
- in Armenia or Syria," he said at a session of the Hayastan
All-Armenian Fund. Hayastan means Armenia in Armenian.
The Armenian government has mulled a plan to build apartment buildings
in three cities to house Armenians fleeing war-torn Syria.
The number of returned Armenian nationals is estimated at 6,000.
About 100,000 Armenians lived in Syria before the civil war broke out in 2011.
