THE RA DOES NOT PROMOTE MIGRATION

The Danish Council of the Refugees (DCR) and the OSCE Office initiated a two - day symposium which started today. Two representatives from the OSCE Office were invited to the first session, Vladimir Pryakhin, the Head of the office was among them. But they weren’t in the hall.
The head of the DCR International Board Anre Vagen said that they already supported 130 public organizations in connection with the refugees’ return and consultation. In the review of the participants it was mentioned that the majority of the immigrants to the European countries are from urban places, whereas the inhabitants of rural territories mainly leave for Russia to find a temporary job. The experts of the council state, “The migration level is surprisingly higher in areas which are densely populated with refugees.”
About 300 thousand people with higher or average education emigrated from Armenia to the European Council member - countries from 1989 to 2001. According to the data of the Council 1 milliard people emigrated from the country in 2001 which is equal to 26.6% of the whole population. By the way, the authorities of Denmark made a law on “the return to the country” according to which each adult coming back is granted 3500 EURO and one - year medical insurance. Some people were given 5 years’ or life assistance. The DCR is of negative opinion about Armenia, “The RA cooperation with the Governments of the EC countries on the assistance of reintegration or return to Armenia program is limited or does not exist.” It was mentioned that mainly the “irregular immigrants were exiled to Armenia.”
So far our country has made contracts of back acceptance with Denmark, Switzerland, Lithuania, Poland, Germany, Ukraine, Russia, Sweden and Romania.
According to the DCR survey the migration is determined by the political destabilization, wars and natural calamities. Today our citizens are insured against none of them in comparison with the 1989 data. The participants of the DCR polling assured that if they earned 350 EURO in Armenia they would never leave their country. Their average income abroad is about 500 EURO a month.
