DEMOGRAPHIC SITUATION THREATENS ARMENIA'S NATIONAL SECURITY - SAMVEL FARMANYAN
20:12 11.09.13
Samvel Farmanyan, a Republican Party of Armenia (RPA) parliamentary
group member, is concerned over the demographic situation in Armenia.
Speaking in Parliament he inquired about progress in the implementation
of the government program of demographic policy.
The present demographic situation poses even more serious threat
to Armenia's national security than the unsettled Nagorno-Karabakh
conflict.
"I would like to ask the government about the current demographic
trends in the country, Armenia's population and geographical
distribution of the population among the regions. The national
demographic policy program is incorporated in the new government
program, which means the government attaches paramount importance to
this matter. I want to know what has been done under the program,"
Farmanyan said.
In response, Minister of Labor and Social Affairs Artyom Asatryan
said that Armenia's premier ordered an interagency workgroup to be
formed to implement the program. The minister invited all the MPs
concerned over the problem to get involved in the program.
This October, Armenia's capital is to host an event with the
participation of leading experts.
"We have analyzed our situation and we will certainly present a report
on our work. We will discuss the necessary measures to ensure the
figures envisaged by the government strategy. We will take steps to
improve the demographic situation for the coming three or four years,"
Minister Asatryan said.
