"The Armenians vote with their feet and fled from Armenia," Political
scientist Vafa Guluzade said, commenting on reports that the fabricated
elections in Armenia will be followed by a new wave of emigration
from the country.
He believes migration from Armenia is of traditional character and
still keeps its tendency.
"Those Armenians who have the opportunity leave the country. Already
half of the population fled the country. For example, particularly
strict laws regarding the departure of young people outside of
Nagorno-Karabakh led to the exodus of young Armenians from the occupied
territories. Armenia, being under the absolute influence of Russia,
found itself in the unenviable economic situation, the country is
morally suppressed and lacks any prospects," he said.
Armenia needs a peace with Azerbaijan, opening of the borders with
Turkey, as well as withdrawal of Russia from its territory.
"Armenia itself does not protect its borders due to the fact that
it is surrounded by the Russian border guards and constrained by an
alliance treaty with Russia. Tiny flea concluded a military alliance
with the elephant," he said. Guluzade said Armenia is an abnormal
country in the abnormal situation.
