    Birth rate has decreased by 5.7% in Armenia in January-March, 2012 as
    against the same period of the past year, the head of the NSS Census
    and Demography Department Karine Kuyumjyan told journalists today,
    Mediamax informs.

    She said 9,569 births were registered in the first quarter of this
    year in the country, while the number of births in the same period
    last year was 10,144.

    Ararat and Armavir regions and Yerevan have the highest birth
    indicators, while this indicator is the lowest in Syunik region.

    Demographer Ruben Yeganyan thinks the data of the first quarter of
    this year show population decline in Armenia.

    "According to our predictions, the decrease in birth numbers will
    continue during this year and during the coming years as the citizens
    born at the beginning of and in mid 1990 are now at the reproductive
    age, who are not many themselves," the specialist said.

    He said each family should at least have 2-3 children in order to
    stop the population decline. He also said the population decline shows
    the measures taken by the state to boost childbirth are not efficient.

    4,668 marriages were registered in Armenia in January-March, 2012,
    which is by 1,4% higher as against the indicator of the same period
    last month.

    The number of divorces in the mentioned period has increased by 0,4 %.
