Authorities of Armenia's Gegharkunik province seem not to worry much
about people departing for outgoing jobs. Governor Rafik Grigoryan,
who is member of the ruling Republican party's council, says there
is a necessity of outgoing job.
"It is the season for departing for outgoing job, I think such
necessity exists, and in my opinion they are doing a right thing,"
Grigoryan said speaking to a group of reporters.
The governor welcomed the growing number of people leaving abroad
to work which he said means 'we have working people'. In his opinion
outgoing job does not mean that people are emigrating.
"The most important thing is that people are building apartments
and if they do it, they are tying themselves with their homeland,"
he stressed, claiming that being against it means hindering people's
rights as each person is free.
The issue is rather sharp in the town of Gavar. In the central square
of the town the reporters witnessed a scene of people getting prepared
to depart. A group of men with packed belongings were preparing to
leave for Russia by mini-bus.
One of the men said everyday about 10 mini-buses are departing from
Armenia. "If jobs open, we will come back, if not, we will not,"
another man said.
Some of them were leaving with the intention to return, while some
with the intention to settle there and later take their families. A
woman who came to see off her husband said he departed for good and
later she will join him.
