/PanARMENIAN.Net/ `Despite the fact that over the last years the life
in Armenia has stabilized, the population continues to decrease, due
to a very difficult economic situation in the country,' the Turkish
Milliyet newspaper writes. The publication reminds that Turkey closed
its border with Armenia for the solidarity to Azerbaijan.
`Today, about 8 to 10 million Armenians live in the world, although
most of them now live abroad. According to the annual reports of the
CIA in 2009, the population of Armenia was 2 million 967 thousand. As
you can see most of the Armenians belong to Diaspora. The Diaspora
began to rebel and express their discontent about the move in
relations of Armenia and Turkey. Particularly Armenian communities in
Europe and Central America behave actively,' the article writes.
According to Milliyet, if the possible opening of the borders is
necessary as much as the air one breathes to the population of Armenia
(in economic terms), the Diaspora is not happy with the possible
warming of relations. `Most of Armenians of the world are against
reconciliation, so why should Turkey be for?,' the Turkish newspaper
asks.
