YEREVAN, MAY 6, ARMENPRESS. Special sites have been chosen in the cities of Ashtarak, Ejmiadzin and Masis for the construction of buildings and detached houses for the Syrian-Armenians settled in the Republic of Armenia. In a conversation with “Armenpress” the Head of Staff of the Ministry of Diaspora of the Republic of Armenia Firdus 
Zakaryan stated that in case of successful implementation of the program, other sites will also be allocated in future.
Among other things Firdus Zakaryan underlined: “Buildings must be built in the site. There are three elements in the programs. The Government of the Republic of Armenia will also contribute to the program. The Government will take care about the issue of allocation of the sites. The Syrian-Armenian family will pay for certain part of the cost, and the rest will be paid by the sponsor. The first sponsor has already been found. Upon the wish of the Syrian Armenians detached houses will be built as well. Notwithstanding in this case only the person, who wants to have a detached house must take care of the whole costs.” Firdus Zakaryan did not want to name the sponsor yet. The Yerevan State University of Architecture and Construction will introduce the construction project free of charge. The Union of Architects of Armenia has also put forward certain suggestions. The sites were allocated on the order of the President of the Republic of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan.
