More than 20,000 people, including more than 10 Armenians, died in the collisions between the opposition and government forces, which have lasted about 18 months. Many Syrians abandon their country and appear in other countries as refugees. The representatives of the local Armenian community also leave the country. The applications from Syrians to obtain a refugee status or get a shelter in Armenia are discussed in accelerated regime, at least in 10 days. The Migration Agency got applications from 41 families to get a lodgment in Armenia, 76 people as a whole, 27 of which have already been provided with temporary shelters.
