“Dear Colleagues,

Certainly, the solution of social, educational, labor and other problems of refugees is one of the most important issues in Europe and in the world.

The issue of refugees is still super topical, and it is unacceptable and inhuman that Refugee children 's family has no opportunity to enjoy their human rights.

At one of the previous sessions, I said in this hall that we should not allow social dumping. The subject of public consensus can be ensuring the right of refugee children to enjoy high quality social, educational and health services .

It is also necessary for statistical bodies like Eurostat, provide us with the Future Social Trends for various layers of society, including children, through which we can regulate and prevent unhealthy and inhumane phenomena for refugees.

I assure you that there is a need to have a statistical methodology for the actual assessment of the abovementioned phenomena.

This means that statistical services from different countries will take obligations to provide information on the current situation of refugees and their children.

We have already said, and it is a fact that Armenia has received about 21,000 Syrian-Armenian refugees, including children, whose work, education and social issues are solved.

So let's solve these problems we’ll have dignified future,” the RA NA Vice President, the Member of the Armenian delegation to PACE Mikayel Melkumyan noted.
