The war which broke in March, 2011, shattered the normal lives of Armenians too, living in Syria. Around 70 thousand Armenians reside in Syria, or used to reside, before the break of civil war. Approximately 7000 Syrian Armenians immigrated to Armenia for the last year, of which over 90% found shelter in Yerevan. Most of them needed house, food, essential supplies, education and job. In response to the needs of immigrants, the World Council of Churches, Inter-Church Round Table Foundation of Armenia initiated "Rapid Support to Syrian Refugees in Armenia" project. The film tells about the program implemented with the support of "Action by Churches Together for Development" Act Alliance.
Participants:
Ruzanna Danielyan, a refugee from Syria
Karen Nazaryan, Executive Director of WCC Inter-Church Round Table Foundation Armenia
Fr. Grigor Grigorian, officer for Rapid Response
