    YEREVAN, 3 April 2006 - Support for sustainable return and
    reintegration through economic development will be the focus of a
    conference that opens tomorrow in Yerevan.

    The two-day event, "Return and Reintegration: Meeting the Economic
    Challenges of Displacement," is organized by the OSCE Office in
    Yerevan and the Danish Refugee Council, in partnership with the United
    Nations. It will bring together over 150 participants, including
    government officials, representatives of the micro-finance sector,
    the international community, as well as NGOs.

    "There is much to be done to ensure the sustainable return of migrants
    and help them integrate into society," said Blanka Hancilova, the
    Office's Democratization Officer.

    "The economic factor plays a key role in this respect.

    That is why we will be discussing opportunities that the micro-finance
    sector may create for returnees.

    This conference should help better co-ordinate the efforts of the
    international community, civil society and the national authorities
    to address the needs of returnees and migration-related issues in
    general."
