Artsvik Minasyan: Fight against emigration should become national platform
Emigration is a threat to national security and the fight against emigration should become a national platform, member of ARF Dashnaktsutyun parliamentary faction Artsvik Minasyan told reporters, while commenting on the discussions on improvement of policy aimed at reduction of emigration in Armenia.
Minasyan noted that all forces – authorities, opposition, NGOs and the Armenian Church – should look for ways to combat emigration.
“People emigrate from Armenia because of unemployment, low wages, distrust in justice as well as uncertainty to the future,” he said.
Minasyan said that some proposals from ARFD’s emigration reduction program have been included in government programs.
“Our program focuses on creation of jobs and we demand that the government release a “roadmap” of jobs," he noted.
