Last night 103 Armenians were transported to Armenia from Aleppo. Some
of them are Armenian citizens, others are Lebanese nationals.

To remind, because of the military actions the Republic of Armenia
has undertaken transportation of its citizens from Lebanon to Syria
and later to Armenia. July 15 the first group comprised of 70 people
arrived in Armenia.

Foreign Ministry Spokesman Vladimir Karapetyan said that RA Embassy
in Lebanon has been staffed with diplomats, who will continue working
to arrange the departure of Armenians from Lebanon.

RA Ministry of Foreign Affairs keeps in touch also with RA Consulate in
Israel. Evacuation will be organized in case local Armenians express
such will.
