Princess Laurentien, the wife of Prince Constantijn of the Netherlands, has voiced her support for the two Armenian children, whose mother was deported last year from Netherlands, Dutch News reported. 

The Princess calls for two Armenian children who are facing deportation to be allowed to stay and said that the children deserved “stability and the feeling that they belong here.”

“I can’t and don’t want to judge the situation, but I have a great deal of sympathy for what these children are going through,” she told NPO Radio 5.

As reported earlier, two Armenian children, whose mother was deported last year from Netherlands, have gone into hiding as they face imminent deportation.

The children only have the right to asylum in the Netherlands if they fear they will be persecuted or endangered by the Armenian authorities and there is no question of this, the court ruled. In addition, help is available for the children when they return if their mother is unable to care for them, as has been claimed. ‘The children will not end up on the streets’, the court said.

Last year it was decided to deport Armina Hambartsjumian—the mother of Lily, 11, and Howick, 12—to Armenia from the migrant center, where they lived. The children were not at home when their mother was picked up and their whereabouts are unknown. She has also refused to say where they are. Armina was deported in August last year. Her children were found a week later.
