Refugees leaving Armenia
The Democratic Party of Armenia (HDK) is going to submit to the Armenian government a package of proposals for resolving refugee problems.
"Refugees today face a major problem connected with lodging. They have so many problems that the best solution is to develop a special state program o address their problems," HDK Leader Aram Sargsyan told a press conference on June 20.
HDK representatives visited refugees during the election campaign to get acquainted with their living conditions.
"If you visit the hostels they live in, you will be surprised to see their miserable conditions that resemble an earthquake-stricken zone. Yes, it is a real zone of disaster. For 23 years people have been living there in abject conditions," he said.
Aram Sargsyan says while neglecting refugees the state contributes to migration, at the same time serving the interests of Azerbaijan.
According to the State Migration Service, more than 361.000 Armenians of Azerbaijan settled in Armenia from 1988 to1992. However, no information is available about these people today as many of them have either left Armenia or changed their place of abode.
