2005 – Raportul CARo catre Delegatia Comitetului Consultativa al Conventiei Cadru privind Protectia Minoritatilor Nationale aici
Pe 13.12.2019 Romania a trimis al 5-lea raport de stat pentru FCNM. Armanii sunt adusi aminte in doua paragrafe.
„The Government of Romania maintains its position expressed through the Comments on the Fourth Opinion of the Advisory Committee on the situation of the Aromanians, Csangos and Hutzuls. At the same time, we reaffirm the fact that the Romanian authorities have been concerned with ensuring, through appropriate funding, the promotion of the specific elements (identity, culture, language, religion) of these people; the situation has not changed with regard to Romania’s position on the inclusion of these groups in the notion of national minority for well-grounded reasons (historical, scientific), which have been explained in detail to the Advisory Committee. It certainly goes beyond the Advisory Committee’s mandate to specify which groups within a state should or should not be classified as a national minority. „
„The situation within the territorial structures of the Romanian Border Police is the following: out of the total number of border guards, 192 persons belonging to the national minorities are included 100 ethnic Hungarians, 34 ethnic Ukrainians, 16 ethnic Serbs, 11 ethnic Turkish, 8 ethnic Roma, 6 ethnic Germans, 5 ethnic Slovaks, 3 ethnic Tatars, 3 ethnic Russians, 2 ethnic Lippovans, 1 ethnic Bulgarian and 2 belonging to other minorities, as well as police officer proficient in the Aromanian dialect of the Romanian language.”
