The mass emigration from Armenia is a normal consequence of the
current political-economic situation, ethnographer Aghasi Tadevosyan
said during a press-conference on Monday.
"I regret that able-bodied, creative people are leaving our country.
Obsessed with mining, our authorities do not consider economic
development as their primary task, so, they do not need professionals.
The growing emigration is good for our oligarchs: the inflow of
money transfers is growing, they are selling more imported products,
earning more money and getting richer," Tadevosyan said.
He believes that the easier visa regime with the EU will be good for
Armenia. "Now our migrants will be able to live in a more open and
civilized manner," Tadevosyan said.
According to the National Migration Service of Armenia, in Jan-Nov
2011 the negative migration balance in Armenia made up 64,897 people,
with some 40,000-50,000 people having left the country last year.
