YEREVAN, DECEMBER 24, ARMENPRESS: The department for refugees and
migrants said today the wave of departures, which hit a high of about
200,000 a year in the mid-1990s, has stabilized in recent years,
but the cumulative effect remains. According to the chief of the
department, Gagik Yeganian, the difference between departures and
arrivals in the first 11 months of this went down by almost 8,000
people making 30,000.
Yeganian said the figures is likely to go down as many Armenians
working abroad will be coming back home to meet New Year with families.
Yeganian also spoke about trafficking in human beings, saying there
are no official figures, but added a special survey will be conducted
next year among men next year. Yeganian argued that the government's
efforts to crackdown on trafficking in people would give no effect
unless people are well aware of all its negative aftereffects.
