'I get at least 3-4 applications from Iraqi Armenian every day. We have
granted status of temporary protected individual to some 600 people,"
Gagik Yeaning, head of migration and refugee department, told reporters
today. In his words, another 350 citizens received this status who
came to Armenia as a result of Israel-Lebanon conflict. Sixty of them
are citizens of Israel and 250 - Lebanon. About 20 Lebanese are Arabs
by nationality, however, they believe Armenia is the safest country
for them.
Yeganyan does not have information how many of them have returned to
their countries because they are not obliged to report according to
law. However, he believes some of them have already left Armenia.
Yeganyan said the Armenian community in Lebanon has diminished to
120-130,000 from 500,000 because of constant tension in the region.
He also said Armenia provides no benefits to people who have received
the status of temporary protected individual.
