Yerevan Still Cautious On Syrian Armenian Evacuation

Prime Minister Hovik Abrahamian on Thursday expressed concern at the worsening security situation in Aleppo but stopped short of calling for a mass evacuation of thousands of ethnic Armenians remaining in the war-ravaged Syrian city.

He only reaffirmed his government's readiness to help transport Syrian Armenian children to Armenia and take care of them there.

Addressing members of his cabinet, Abrahamian also said the government will discuss the situation in Aleppo in detail at its next meeting slated for May 14. Diaspora Minister Hranush Hakobian will speak about "what steps are taken by her ministry, what the government can do and how we can help," he said.
