    'ARMENIA ON VERGE OF DEMOGRAPHIC CATASTROPHE"

    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.
