YEREVAN. – We have many compatriots in Russia who have neither accommodation nor work and want to return to the homeland; we are currently seeking accommodation for them. Zareh Sinanyan, the High Commissioner for Diaspora Affairs of Armenia, stated this Friday during a meeting with journalists.

"The problem is compounded by the fact that many of our compatriots who have ended up outside [in Russia] may be infected with the coronavirus, whereas non-citizens are not provided with medical services in many places," he added. "In that sense, the problem is serious, to put it mildly."
