Europe Starts Deporting Armenians
An Armenian young man Khachik Khachatryan and a gipsy woman of Kosovo
have been deported from France, and hundreds of students took to the
streets to protest. Interestingly, an Armenian and a gipsy become the
faces of the new European migration policy.
Armenia has not signed a readmission agreement with France according
to which France can deport illegal immigrants. Now they can deport
Armenians in case they break the law. Khachik was accused of stealing
and was deported.
The Armenian MFA has not reacted to this scandal. Moreover, Armenia
has signed the readmission agreement, and hundreds of illegal
immigrants could return to their home country.
Is Armenia ready for such a turn? After all, those who return will not
be silent like those who have stayed in Armenia. These people will put
forth claims to the government for both the past and the present.
It is interesting whether the Armenian would have been deported if
Serzh Sargsyan had not made the statement on September 3. The
Armenians will not be wanted in Europe, and evidence is that an
Armenian is deported, not an Arab. Without September 3 Russia's new
migration policy would have had an Armenian face. Hrachya Harutiunyan
could be that face but Serzh Sargsyan and Azerbaijani Zeinalov saved
the Armenian community.
The issue of migration is becoming urgent, and the tendency of
cleansing is gradually becoming evident, division on ethnic, religious
and other grounds. Social and economic differences between countries
cause a flow of people from poor to rich countries. The process
culminates at some point when the newcomers make up a minority which
does not assimilate with the host society.
Every country whose people prefer emigrating to staying, working and
fighting in their home country must be ready for the return of a big
number of angry people. But first of all they must be ready to protect
their people abroad.
