This fact causes concerns of state officials and observers in the
country. State immigration service chief Gagik Eganian however
thinks that there is nothing unusual in the process stating that
although immigration increases the process if quite slow. In 2008
Armenia was left by 23 000 people, in 2005 by 25 000, in 2010 by 30
000. it makes 78 000 altogether which is a serious figure for small
country like Armenia. The birth rate is also decreasing. The figures
of the population of Armenia are different according to official and
unofficial data. Officially Armenia has 3.8 mln population however
unofficially It is suggested that there are more than half a million
less.
