Exodus has hit alarming figures, intellectuals say
13:18 - 01.07.11
A group of Armenian intellectuals held a news conference today to blow
a whistle over the alarmingly growing size of emigration.
Levon Ananyan, the president of the Writers' Union, said the steps
taken in this regard are imitation after all. He said a village mayor
told him that recently about a hundred young men have moved to Russia.
Environmentalist Karine Danielyan said that the Russian project aimed
at making Armenians immigrate to Russia is very concerning.
"We give other countries our educated professionals," Economist Tatul
Manaseryan, who heads the Alternative Research Center, said.
The news conference was also attended by other intellectuals who all
called on the government to take "concrete and reliable" measures to
seriously address the issue.
