The growth of migration rates in Armenia will lead the country to
the demographic catastrophe, Expert Samir , when commenting on the
statement of Armenia's former president Levon Ter-Petrosyan, who named
the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict and the closed border with Turkey as
the main reasons for the increasing pace of migration from Armenia.
Hamidov said the both reasons named by Ter-Petrosyan are linked with
each other. "Armenia was blockaded due to the occupation of 20 percent
of Azerbaijani territory. Therefore, Armenian as a country-occupier
faced a similar attitude from the region and the world community.
Armenia is left out of a number of regional projects in view of certain
objective reasons. Thus, the country population faced a serious crisis,
due to which the economic situation in Armenia is deteriorating day
by day," he noted.
Because of the unresolved Nagorno-Karabakh conflict and lack of
relationships with regional countries on the basis of international
legal norms, Armenia's social situation is not fully developed.
"This will lead to increasing of the number of those leaving the
country and the Armenian government will continue to face the problem
of migration. Ultimately, this will lead to a demographic catastrophe
of Armenia," Hamidov stated.
