decades. Serzh Sargsyan expressed gratitude for the office's support
to the Armenian government's efforts for integration of refugees and
solving their problems.

are still temporarily living in hostels. The head of state attached
importance to the continuation of cooperation between the government
and the Commissioner's office in providing homes to refugees.
The representative of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees said that
the long-running, correct and oriented cooperation between the Armenian
government and the Commissioner's Office has been highly effective.
The President and Damtiu Dessalegn spoke about the upcoming projects
for cooperation and particularly attached importance to the 2011
Assembly of Donors with the participation of the UN High Commissioner
for Refugees.
The head of state also addressed the issue of refugees living in
Nagorno-Karabakh. Mentioning that Armenia and the NKR have never
turned the issue of refugees into one of political speculations,
Serzh Sargsyan expressed concerns over the fact that the refugees
are not included in the UN's refugee support programs.
