Nine Syrian nationals remained stranded at Yerevan's Zvartnots airport for a third day on Wednesday after being refused Armenian visas on the grounds that they failed to prove their ethnic Armenian origin.
Syria is one those countries whose citizens can receive Armenian visas only from Armenian diplomatic missions abroad. Armenia's government last month allowed Syrians of Armenian descent fleeing the Middle Eastern state to get visas at Zvartnots and other Armenian border crossings. They are required to present immigration officers with documentary evidence of their Armenian ethnicity in addition to their Syrian passports.
