In his words, in spite of certain difficulties, the Armenian foreign ministry constantly keeps in touch with the community centers in Iraq. “We possess data that in Jordan there is a large accumulation of Armenian families, who had left Iraq before the military operations commenced. A few tens of families are also in Aleppo and still less – in Lebanon,” – R. Shugarian said. Thereupon, in his words, Armenian ambassador to Syria left for Jordan to collect additional information. The deputy minister reported about availability of a few requests to get residence permits. “We are ready to render free long-term visas to our compatriots,” – he stated.
