The Armenian government is addressing the issues faced by its communities in the Middle East, particularly in Syria and Lebanon. Zareh Sinanyan, the High Commissioner for Diaspora Affairs, announced on March 4 that the situation in Syria remains unstable, with a growing influx of Syrian-Armenians relocating to Armenia. Sinanyan noted that logistical challenges hindered evacuation efforts during the Aleppo offensive, but an increase in resettlement has been observed recently.
Sinanyan emphasized the precarious conditions in Lebanon, where Armenians are experiencing severe financial difficulties. He expressed the need for improved living conditions to discourage migration to other countries. His office is actively aiding those wishing to relocate, coordinating with partners to provide necessary support, including financial assistance for travel and accommodation.

Sinanyan underlined the urgency of facilitating assistance for compatriots, stating that existing resources are strained but his office endeavors to meet these challenges collaboratively.
The Armenian government’s proactive approach aims to support those in unstable regions, ensuring the safety and well-being of its diaspora. Continued monitoring and assistance for vulnerable communities in the Middle East are critical as the humanitarian situation evolves.
