TWO ARMENIAN FAMILIES RETURN VOLUNTARILY BACK FROM SWITZERLAND

YEREVAN, NOVEMBER 29, ARMENPRESS: Two Armenian families, living
illegally in Switzerland, came back to Armenia in November, supported
by an Armenian-Swiss readmission agreement signed earlier this year.
Hambardzum Abrahamian, an official of the department for refugees
and migrants, said the agreement provides for a reintegration program
for those who return back to Armenia. The returnees are promised
health assistance, jobs and special educational programs for their
school-aged children.
Though the agreement does not envisage providing the returnees
with housing, they are given full information and consulting about
how to buy a house or an apartment.
