According to statistics, about 42 percent of Armenia's population
is poor, of which 10.2 percent is extremely poor, sociologist Aharon
Adibekyan told reporters on Friday.
One in six families in Armenia goes to sleep hungry, the sociologist
said.
Meanwhile, the expert said, only 19.4 percent of poor people
acknowledge their poverty. According to him, the first reason is that
poor people try to protect themselves from psychological discomfort.
