    The recent meeting with the representatives of the Armenian community
    in Syria, hosted at the Diaspora Ministry of Armenia, covered issues
    related to the developments in Syria, the Ministry's press service
    told ArmInfo.

    During the meeting, Armenian Diaspora Minister Hranush Hakobyan said
    that a working group was set up, which studied the issues raised by
    the Armenians of Syria, classified them and sent them to the relevant
    state structures.

    She said that 2 decisions of the Government of Armenia would come
    into effect within 10 days. According to one of the decisions, the
    Syrian Armenians, who have gained Armenian citizenship, will be able to
    receive passports at the Armenian Embassy in Damascus and the Armenian
    Consulate in Aleppo. The other decision says that the Syrian Armenians
    will be able to receive an entry visa on the border with Armenia.

    Hakobyan also pointed out that the Diaspora Ministry applied to the
    Education Ministry to discuss the possibility of higher education
    for the Syrian Armenians for a tuition fee similar to that for the
    Armenian citizens.

    Hranush Hakobyan said that the Health Ministry addresses the medical
    assistance and service issues of the Syrian Armenians. According to
    the Migration Agency of Armenia, 30 families have applied to them so
    far, and they were provided with rooms in dormitories.

    For their part, the Armenians of Syria pointed out Armenia's warm
    attitude towards them and stressed the significance of the Diaspora
    Ministry's work. They also expressed hope that all the problems will
    be solved at the state level.

    They also asked the Armenian mass media to display restraint when
    covering the problems of the Syrian Armenians, because even one
    incautious phrase may endanger the Armenian community of Syria.
