David Babayan: Artsakh authorities have clear policy of supporting Syrian-Armenians
A great number of Syrian-Armenians fled the violence in the country and settled abroad. Part of them settled in Armenia and Artsakh. According to the latest data, more than 100 Syrian-Armenians have settled in Artsakh.
Our correspondent contacted Artsakh President's spokesman David Babayan for a comment on the matter.
Asked if there is a clear strategy of supporting Syrian-Armenians, Mr Babayan said, “Syrian-Armenians are our compatriots, and the Artsakh authorities from the very start expressed willingness to support them in creating living conditions for them. The state has clear policy of supporting Syrian-Armenians.”
According to him, in view of the fact that many of the Syrian-Armenians who moved to NKR are farmers, they can also make a significant contribution to the development of agriculture in NKR.
“The state does everything possible to provide them with shelter and jobs as well as to help them adapt to the conditions in Artsakh,” Babayan concluded.
