THE NUMBER OF REFUGEES MUST BE CLARIFIED
Support A1+!Armenian PM Andranik Margaryan has today met Rude Luuberse, High Commissioner of UN’ Refugee Office. According to PM, UNO assistance in settlement of refugees’ problems is inestimable.
Andranik Margaryan informed that solution to the social and economic, dwelling and other problems of refugees is entered in the Strategic Program on Poverty Reduction, implemented by the Armenian Government. PM said unfortunately, the means of the Armenian Government are not enough to completely solve the problems of those resettled because of conflict.
The last registration of refugees residing in Armenia was conducted in 1997. The number of refugees made 311.000. But taking into account the migration processes of recent years, the figure now needs to make more accurate.
Mr. Rude Luuberse appraised deeply the position of Armenian Government over integration of refugees resettled by force from Azerbaijan and settlement of their social problems. He expressed willingness to continue cooperation with Armenian Government. Luuberse stressed implementation of program on refugees’ registration. He said he would make alike suggestion to Azerbaijani Authorities, too.
