our Republic, has been partially launched and the other one is in the

houses in Syria because of the violence and get settled in Armenia.
The Red Cross Armenia will implement a program costing ~@280,000 of the
allocated money and the other part has been provided to the Armenian
Caritas to implement another related program. The money allocated by
the Austrian Government will serve the Red Cross Armenia to provide
300 Syrian Armenian families with assistance.

Displacement of the Red Cross Armenia and the Head of the program

the framework of the program for seven months the needy families will
be provided with hygiene products, the people with chronic diseases -
with corresponding medicine, winter clothes and shoes, present cards
to purchase household accessories, applicable in different shops.
We clarified the final information about the number of the Syrian
Armenians, settled in our country from the Head of Staff of the
Ministry of Diaspora of the Republic of Armenia Firdus Zakaryan. He
informed that during the last three months the Syrian Armenians come to
Armenia through Lebanon. "300-400 Syrian Armenians monthly arrive in
