November 16, 2012 - 18:02 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - 1115 children currently live in orphanages across
Armenia, said the head of Social Statistics Department at National
Statistical Service, citing official data. As Ms. Nelly Baghdasaryan
told a news conference, 267 children were left in orphanages in
2011. 121 kids were adopted, 62 of them locally, and the rest by
foreign citizens. Briefing those present on beggar children-related
statistics, Ms Baghdasaryan noted that in 2002 their number reached
111. At present, total number of adolescents reaches 15, including
3 beggar children in Yerevan, 3 in Armavir province, 7 in Lori
province, 2 in Shirak province, according to Police-provided data.
Ms Baghdasaryan, however, found it hard to explain the reason behind
a decrease in the number of beggar children.
