Russia has resumed the Compatriots program in Armenia. Last November
the program was said to be suspended till January 10.
Lragir.am has learned from the Yerevan office of the Russian migration
service that the program continues. It is not stated why the program
had been suspended but it continues despite the statement of the
Armenian government for stopping the program.
Russia offers Armenians employment and citizenship. Last September
the project was enlarged, and the citizens of Armenia were allowed to
leave with families, after which Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan stated
that the program is unacceptable. Later the question was discussed
during the meeting of the intergovernmental commission and the deputy
foreign minister Shavarsh Kocharyan said Russia cannot implement a
program against the will of Armenia.
Nevertheless, the program was successfully resumed. A lot of people
are willing to leave. They stand in line in front of the Migration
Service. Meanwhile, the authorities are silent.
The spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Tigran Balayan
refused to comment on this issue.
