Ongoing Emigration: Why Migration Service Doesn't Release Data
The Armenian Time Daily reports the State Migration Service of Armenia
has not released statistics on the departures and arrivals in the
first semester 2013. Usually, data is published in the following month
of the given period. Gagik Yeganyan, head of State Migration Service,
told the Armenian Time that the reason is that the State Statistics
Service does not issue the data. The newspaper concludes that
statistics would show how many people will leave Armenia forever, so
most probably the data is not released until some numbers are
`corrected' or they are just marking time till the end of the mayoral
elections. The difference between arrivals and departures in the first
two months of this year is 1.5 in favor of departures, which means at
least 70,000 will leave Armenia this year, and the total number for
the past five years will be 330,000.
