The sociologist Aharon Adibekyan, commenting on the indexes of the
State Statistics Service on marriages and divorces noted that the
statistic is a lie. When statistics becomes state policy, it becomes
a way to hide something. For example, when Azerbaijan stated that it
has 9 million inhabitants, the real number is 6 million. We do not
have a population of 3, 230, 000 people but less, says Adibekyan.
According to him, the numbers of the State Statistics Service are
not right, because the number of population is not mentioned. For
example, Adibekyan says when he goes to a village which officially
has 700 inhabitants, the local villagers say the number is 500.
There are conceptions in the statistics of marriages such as hidden
marriages or hidden divorces. According to him, the ¾ of 40 old-year
couples stop having sexual life, so their marriage is false.
According to Adibekyan, in Yerevan, 1 of 4 couples divorces, in
villages 1 of 10. Women' positions about having children also changed.
If before, women in villages had 3-4 children, in cities-2-3, now all
of them want 1-2 children. The number of divorces increases this way.
The age for marriages also increased: for women-23-24, for men-26-28.
The number of women of this age is more than the one of men which will
bring about the decrease of marriages. According to Aharon Adibekyan,
the population of Armenia by 2050 will be 2 million.
