Hranush Kharatyan, the head of the agency of ethnic minorities and
religion of the government of Armenia, made important comments in an
interview with the official website of the Republican Party.
For instance, Ms. Kharatyan announced with regard to the demographic
pattern of Armenia and its possible changes that "Armenia is presently
unfavorable for the population of our country". According to
Hranush Kharatyan, this unfavorable state is the reason why "the
young, the educated, workers, specialists" leave Armenia, and in
a country, which sheltered refugees, "there is no growth of the
population. Armenia remains a labor-exporting country and will remain
for a long time." Hence, it is at least a surprise to hear from Hranush
Kharatyan that "Armenia is becoming a real Republic with the dominant
ideology of Republicanism. A citizen is protected and safe, citizens
have genuinely equal and protected possibilities, a law-abiding and
hard-working person is a respectable citizen of our country and the
key guarantees of his protection are the same qualities. The Armenians
not only stay in Armenia but also give birth to children." Hence, it
appears that non-Armenians leave Armenia. However, Hranush Kharatyan
declines to say who the non-Armenian "the young, the educated,
workers, specialists" are who leave Armenia and are an attractive
resource for the countries which encourage immigration.
Hranush Kharatyan presents figures as well. In 2050 the population of
Armenia will count 2.334 million. If presently 63.1 percent are not
able to work, in 2050 it will be 48.9 percent, "which is the lowest
rate in the OSCE countries". In Turkey 58 percent of the population,
57.3 percent in Azerbaijan will not work. In the upcoming 45-50 years
the population aged 15 to 59 will grow by 37.9 percent in Turkey, 37.9
percent in Azerbaijan, and will go down by 41.9 percent in Armenia.
There is one more thing that Hranush Kharatyan unfortunately and
consciously keeps silent about, namely "the influence of qualitative
and quantitative changes in the demographic patterns of the countries
in the region". Whereas, Hranush Kharatyan should not keep silent, for
due to a demographic change no Armenians were not left in Nakhidjevan
where the Azerbaijanis demolish Armenian khachkars.
After cracking down on the sustainable two-digit economic growth of
the Armenian government for the upcoming 50 years Hranush Kharatyan
takes up Robert Kocharyan's principle of the genetic incompatibility
of Armenians and Turks. According to Hranush Kharatyan, "peaceful
coexistence of the Armenian and Turkish ethnicities was possible
and will be possible in the future too. Ethnicities do not bring
about conflicts. Conflicts are sparked by planners and implementers
of politics."
