We as talking not about one-time assistance but other fundamental projects.”  Arman Tatoyan informed that soon he will leave for Georgia and will present the issue of Syrian-Armenians to the UN Regional Representative, “My visit to Geneva is planned in the near future, where I will also discuss the issue with high authorities.”  According to Arman Tatoyan, it is not excluded that the issue of the rights of Syrian-Armenians located in the zone of the Syrian conflict will also be touched.
