YEREVAN, OCTOBER 10, ARMENPRESS: A Los-Angeles-based Iraqi Armenian
Assistance Foundation has helped to bring another three Iraqi
Armenian families to Armenia. Overall since its inception last year
the Foundation has helped to evacuate seven Armenian families or 30
people from Iraq to Armenia.
It has listed also 95 other families who want to move to Armenia.
Foundation chairman Sargis Derdzakian says each member of the family
that comes to Armenia receives $1000 assistance. The money to secure
Iraqi Armenians transportation to Armenia and other related expenses
is raised in the USA among local Armenians.
Derdzakian says more Armenians could be evacuated if this initiative
is endorsed by Armenian communities in other countries.
