Half of the Armenian Lori region's Sarahart village male residents
leave for work to Russia every year. The village has 1,485 residents
and currently 370 men are abroad. The village head Vasil Piloyan told
Armenian News-NEWS.am that year by year less people are engaged in
farming.
`Ranching is also in a bad condition. When the men leave the village,
only the elderly men and children remain, and for them ranching is
difficult,' he said.
According to the village head, the Sarahart residents are working
people, but the job issue is rather serious in the village and because
of that every year `father and son' leave for work to Russia.
