"IT SEEMS TO THEM THAT EUROPE AWAITS FOR THEM WITH OPEN ARMS, THERE IS NO SUCH A THING" (VIDEO)
December 17 2014
"Our people sell everything at once and leave, it seems to them that
Europe awaits for them with open arms, there is no such a thing. They
have problems with their population, and they will keep those whom
they need," such opinion was expressed by Maria Allahverdyan, Head of
Migration Policy Department at the State Migration Service, referring
to the fact that the Armenian migrants often trust the narratives
of their neighbors and relatives rather than official releases. A
discussion was organized at the Media Initiatives Center office ahead
to the International Migrants Day. Ilona Ter-Minasyan, Head of the
Armenian Office of the Migration International Organization, attending
the meeting said that in European countries, giving a work or other
permit to the migrant is very personal, this depends on how fast the
migrant learns the language, what profession he has and so on. "People
need to understand and be informed prior to going that if they have
decided to go, it should be only legal." To the question of Aravot.am
of whether the European countries continue providing a shelter for the
people leaving from Armenia who justify that they are being persecuted
in their homeland for sexual orientation, or subjected to pressure
for political views, Mrs. Ter-Minasyan said that different countries
show different approaches, but all these countries check out all of
that, and it is not that they take it as they hear it. In addition,
Ilona Ter - Minasyan said that Europe's financial resources are also
reduced, therefore, they have become more tough, and since Armenia
is considered to be economically sustainable and non-poor country,
Europe gives shelter more to the migrants of the countries, where there
is an unstable and wars situation, like Pakistan, Afghanistan, Syria
and others. Maria Allahverdyan, Head of Migration Policy Department
at the State Migration Service, mentioned that in 2015, our citizens
can travel and work in Russia without a work permit, and should get
registered within 30 days. Mrs. Allahverdyani told that there are few
people who let's say are leaving Armenia for work, but abroad, they do
the same work, which they could do here, for instance, floor cleaning.
Generally, the speakers of the discussion claimed that before leaving,
the migrants should realize that the abroad would not keep the
mediocre, they choose from the migrants and keep the good-qualified
ones.
