Armenia's government moved on Thursday to exempt Syrian Armenian refugees from hefty legal fees levied from foreigners extending their visas and receiving residency permits.
Prime Minister Sarkisian's cabinet approved corresponding draft amendments to an Armenian law on state duties at a weekly meeting. The amendments, which will be sent to parliament soon, apply to foreign nationals of Armenian descent who face grave dangers in their countries and migrate to Armenia.
"If emergencies arise and our compatriots are unable to adhere to formal procedures, we will exempt them from fines and other penalties and create more comfortable conditions so that they can solve their problems while staying in the [historical] homeland," Sarkisian said at the cabinet meeting.
