ARMENIA'S ARMAVIR REGION: EMIGRATION OR POPULATION RISE?
20:52 17.09.13
Governor of Armenia's Armavir region Ashot Kagramanyan told Tert.am
that, despite the hail-caused AMD 25bn damage, the villagers are
not emigrating.
However, the villagers told the opposite to Tert.am.
"Very many villagers are leaving. The authorities promised to provide
us with fertilizers, but have not kept their promise. We are in a
grave situation," one of the villagers, Mgrashat, told Tert.am.
In response to the complaints, Governor Kagramanyan cited figures. He
does not deny emigration.
"This year we have 185 more first graders than last year. Our village
has not any serious population loss. Otherwise, we would not have
more first graders," he said.
Kagramanyan noted that villagers normally go to seasonal work.
Head of the Aigeshat village community Aramais Mkhitaryan told Tert.am
that the hail-caused damage made many of the villagers go to other
countries.
A resident of the Amasya village told Tert.am that "ten people left
the village in the Soviet times, while 110 are leaving now."
Governor Kagramanyan said that Armenia's government rendered aid
estimated at AMD 7-8bn.
