    YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 27, ARMENPRESS: The State of Kuwait has allocated
    $100,000 to the public organization "Center for Coordination of
    Syrian Armenian Affairs" to assist the school and other educational
    programs implemented for the Syrian Armenians living in Armenia. The
    corresponding agreement was signed on September 27 at the Ministry
    of Diaspora of the Republic of Armenia. The Minister of Diaspora of
    the Republic of Armenia Hranush Hakobyan highlighted the dynamic
    development of the Armenian-Kuwaiti relations and the active
    cooperation between the two countries. "Our cooperation has become
    closer, when the Syrian crisis began. Kuwait has donated money for
    the second time, this time to assist the school and other educational
    programs implemented for the Syrian Armenians living in Armenia", -
    said Hranush Hakobyan, as reported by Armenpress.

    The Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Kuwait to Armenia
    Bassam Mohammed Al-Qabandi expressed his gratitude to the Minister
    of Diaspora of the Republic of Armenia for the warm reception and
    stated that he feels home in Armenia. "We are happy to be able to show
    support. There is a future program as well connected with the New
    Aleppo District. I am certain that Kuwait will be the first country
    to assist the program implementation", - said the Ambassador.

    The diplomatic relations between Armenia and Kuwait were established
    in July 1994. The Embassy of Kuwait to Armenia was opened in 2011.

    Currently about 10,000 Syrian Armenians live in Armenia, who are
    permanently supported by the Ministry of Diaspora of the Republic
    of Armenia in apartment and job issues. About 1000 Syrian Armenians
    applied to the Ministry and were provided with jobs. The situation
    was aggravated in Syria on August 21 when media informed about
    using chemical weapons in the suburbs of Damascus. According to
    preliminary information, 600 people were killed in the result of the
    attack. According to other sources, numbers of the dead people reached
    1300. After the incident the governmental forces and the opposition
    announced about their non-participation in using chemical weapons
    blaming each other in it. USA increased its military presence around
    Syria activating the discussion of military intervention scenario.
