There is no “unusual” influx of Iranian-Armenians into Armenia, High Commissioner for Diaspora Affairs Zareh Sinanyan said on Tuesday.

At the same time, he did not provide the exact number of Iranian-Armenians who have arrived in Armenia amid the war in Iran.

“But there is no unusual flow of Iranian Armenians to Armenia compared to previous periods. As such, there is no significant movement of Iranian Armenians to Armenia,” Sinanyan said at a press briefing. 

He said that authorities are constantly trying to stay in contact with the Armenian community in Iran, and sometimes they are able to establish communication.

“People are trying to stay away from dangerous areas, remaining in their homes, and hoping that all of this will end soon,” Sinanyan noted.

According to him, there are unconfirmed reports of two lightly injured Iranian Armenians.

“There were reports about two Iranian Armenians who sustained minor injuries, but it is very difficult to verify this information,” Sinanyan said.
