YEREVAN, December 21. /ARKA/. "Increase of rates of passenger flow to
Armenia during 11 months of 2009 is not observed due to global economic
crisis", said Gagik Yeganyan, Head of Migration Agency of the Ministry
of Territorial Management on Friday during the press-conference.
"From January to November 2009 about 1 million 367 thousand people
went out from Armenia and 1 million 329 thousand people came back.
Negative balance made 38 thousand people. Nearly the same indicator
was registered in the similar period of the last year", said Yeganyan.
According to the results of the year, positive balance will be
registered because the main part of working migrants is coming back to
Armenia in December for celebrating New Year with their families. This
year the rates of coming back to Armenia were increased twice.
During 11 months of 2009 there were no working migrants coming back to
Armenia which was expected due to crisis. "As for the prognosis for
2010, it will depend mostly on economic situation in the countries
accepting migrants", said Yeganyan.
