Story from Lragir.am News:

The deputy foreign minister Shavarsh Kocharyan gave a queer answer to
Lragir.am. When we asked why the Armenian side does not follow up its
pledges and stop the Russian Compatriots Program, Shavarsh Kocharyan
said the program has been discontinued. When we informed the deputy
minister that the program has been successfully resumed, promoting
emigration from Armenia, he repeated, "it does not continue", and left.
Note that the program provides employment and accommodation to
RA citizens in Russia. Last year the program was enlarged, and the
citizens of Armenia could leave for Russia with their families. Prime
Minister Sargsyan announced then that the program is unacceptable.
Later the issue was discussed during the meeting of the RA-Russia
intergovernmental economic commission, and Shavarsh Kocharyan stated
that Russia cannot implement a program in our country if it is not
approved.
While every day the Russian Federal Migration Service office in Yerevan
accepts applications from Armenians, the Armenian officials pretend
as if they do not notice anything and believe that the program has
been suspended. We advise Shavarsh Kocharyan to visit or call the
Federal Migration Service to make sure that the program continues.
