YEREVAN, June 5. /ARKA/. Manifestations of negative attitude to
Armenians in Russia are a problem of Russia and its citizens, the
member of the Armenian National Movement, (ANM) Karapet Rubinyan
told reporters.
He pointed out that fascism and nationalism "have not so far led any
country to good."
"If such a multinational country as Russia continues following
this way, it will inevitably face the threat of collapse and ruin,"
Rubinyan said.
Speaking of raising Armenia;s reputation abroad as one of the measures
to prevent negative attitude toward Armenians, he pointed out that
these programs cannot resolve the problem.
"In this case we have to stand up for raising the reputation of
many other countries, because manifestations of racism in Russia
are recorded by representatives of many other nations as well,"
Rubinyan said.
In this context, he pointed out that Armenians staying abroad must
themselves take measures to ensure their security.
"In particular, many of our compatriots could return to Armenia and
try to find jobs here, because their living and working conditions
in other countries cannot meet normal human standards," Rubinyan said.
The Migration Agency, RA Ministry of Territorial Administration,
reports that a total of 833.3ths people left Armenia in 2005 against
737.8ths in 2004 According to the reference book "Labor migration in
Armenia in 2002-2005", 50.7% of guest-workers from Armenia had jobs
in the country before going abroad. The number of guest-workers from
Armenia totals 116,000-147,000, which is 3.6%-4.6% of the country's
population.
