90 citizens of Ukraine request refugee status in Armenia

10:00,

YEREVAN, APRIL 12, ARMENPRESS. 90 Ukrainian citizens have applied to the Armenian authorities requesting refugee status as of April 8, the Migration Service of Armenia said in response to a query from ARMENPRESS.

More than half of the applicants are ethnic Armenians.

Those who receive refugee status after being interviewed will be granted virtually all rights and obligations of Armenian citizens, with few exceptions. The Migration Service has an Integration Center where refugees can live for free for one year, and in some cases more.

In addition, the agency said that some 90 citizens of EAEU-member states have applied via the workpermit.am platform for work permits. Most of the applicants are Russians.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
