ARMENIAN SYRIANS DEMAND TRANSPARENT DISTRIBUTION OF ASSISTANCE
At the Ministry of Diaspora the administrators of Facebook groups
representing Armenian Syrians attended a meeting with the minister
of Diaspora.
Armenian Syrian Robert Sulahyan said, in particular, that transparency
of distribution of benefits to Armenian Syrians is an urgent issue.
"If transparency increases, the information will reach the public,"
he noted.
Hranush Hakobyan hurried to note that the government does not
distribute allowances but reaches, asks and persuades international
benevolent organizations to aid Armenian Syrians. The organizations
themselves determine who the beneficiaries of allowances, what the
amount should be and how to distribute. "We are dealing with state
issues," she noted. The minister failed to clarify whether there will
be more transparency in the future.
"We are tired of hearing of your programs, Aleppo Armenians living in
Yerevan care about assistance distributed to Armenian Syrians," one of
the participants noted. The same 200-500 people receive assistance for
multiple times while thousands of families have not received any aid.
"We know where assistant comes from but we don't know where it goes,"
said a man.
He noted that the Armenian community of Aleppo does not feel the
support of the Armenian government whereas most of them are eager to
come to Armenia but cannot afford to do that.
"They can come down the same way you came. I am just the minister
of diaspora, should I become fire and light your way? I can't find
that way for you, you must find it," the minister of diaspora Hranush
Hakobyan answered.
"I can't call you here because tomorrow you will tell me you don't
like the conditions because you are used to living in a villa and here
you got a room of 12 square meters. You say you are tired of hearing.
But we have done so much, shouldn't you know about it? This is all
that our state can afford today. I would be happy to give a villa
and a business to each of you," the minister said.
Hranush Hakobyan noted that she would like all the benefactors to
give more assistance. But one of them said they could give 200 pair
of shoes. "I am not Christ to turn 200 pairs to 5000. The benefactors
who to distribute those 200 pairs."
According to the Ministry of Diaspora, 15,000 Armenian Syrian refugees
have arrived in Armenia but 11,000 stayed here. Another 12,000 Armenian
Syrians left for Lebanon and 45,000 stayed in Syria, including 30,000
in Aleppo.
