A second group of ethnic Armenian children from Syria arrived in Armenia on Tuesday to spend their holidays at a local summer camp as part of a special program launched by the authorities in Yerevan.
The nearly 130 schoolchildren from the war-torn city of Aleppo accompanied by 19 teachers arrived at the Zvartnots airport on a special Armavia flight sponsored by a Yerevan-based charity and Ara Abrahamian, a Russian-Armenian businessman. They proceeded to the children's camp central in the Armenian resort of Hankavan, which hosted 119 other Syrian Armenian teenagers, all of them from Damascus, last week.
Prime Minister Tigran Sarkisian visited the Hankavan camp on Monday, talking, sharing meal and even dancing with the children. He also familiarized himself with living conditions there.
