Armenia's government discussed a growing influx of ethnic Armenians from Syrian on Thursday as dozens of people protested in Yerevan against what they regard as its failure to properly deal with the "repatriation."
Prime Minister Tigran Sarkisian's cabinet discussed the matter at a weekly meeting. A government press release issued after the meeting said nothing about that discussion.
Justice Minister Hrayr Tovmasian told journalists that Sarkisian issued "instructions" to immigration authorities and other relevant state agencies. He did not elaborate on those orders, saying only that "their results will become visible soon."
Tovmasian also said that the government will hold a follow-up meeting next week on the fate of a growing number of Syrian Armenians fleeing violence in their country and taking refuge in Armenia.
