Rejected asylum applications
“All these people are there with me to help us find a solution. It makes me happy that there are so many people », Confides Norik Sargsyan. A previous demonstration, of the same magnitude, had already taken place on April 18. And others should still follow (in particular on May 15 on the place Jean-Jaurès).
“We wrote a collective letter asking to regularize the situation of Norik and his family. We will symbolically drop it off at the sub-prefecture, ”explains Sophie Godo, volunteer at Cimade (which defends the rights of refugees and migrants) and at RESF (education network without borders) 03.
“In 2014, they fled Armenia to protect themselves. And their asylum requests were unsuccessful. “

Silence then applause
