5 000 Syrian Armenians (1500 families) currently reside in Armenia, RA Diaspora Minister said.

“500 children go to school, while the number of Syrian Armenian students totals 200,” Hranush Hakobyan said when briefing the outcomes of 2012, naming employment as the main problem.

Armenian General Benevolent Union (AGBU) and Armenian Relief Society (ARF) have expressed readiness to solve the accommodation problem for those Syrian Armenians willing to reside in Yerevan’s neighboring towns.
