MIGRATION FROM ARMENIA TO POLAND REDUCED TO MINIMUM
YEREVAN, November 9. /ARKA/. Migration from Armenia to Poland has
recently been reduced to a minimum, Marshal of the polish Senate
Bogdan Borusevich told reporters.
He said that quite a few Armenians came to Poland in 1990s, the
reason being the Karabakh war and general instability.
"The current situation is stable in Armenia, and economic factors
mostly account for Armenians' migration," he said.
Borusevich added that there is no large Armenian Diaspora in Poland
now.
"Some of the migrant returned to Armenia and others went to better
places - Germany or France," Borusevich said.
He pointed out that Poland is a liberal country for migrants even if
they violate the country's legislation.
"We do not practise what other countries do - hunting for foreigners
and repatriating them," he said.
He also pointed out that Poland's migration legislation must be
regulated because the country intends to join the Schengen zone and
must observe the established standards.
A total of 100,000 currently reside in Poland. P.T. -0--
