LABOR MIGRANTS – POTENTIAL “ILLEGALS”
More than half of Armenian labor migrants leave the country for the absence of work, 43% are not satisfied with the salary. The above data were introduces by the head of the administration of migration of the Ministry of Regional Government Gagik Yeghanyan at the conference today.
As he said, the labor migrants become potential “illegals” in foreign countries as they come across serious procedures.
“Particularly it refers to Russian Federation the main flow of migrants leave for,” G. Yeghanyan mentioned. And the main reason of illegal migration is the unawareness of our citizens of the conditions of entry and stay in a country. “According to the results of the examination carried out by International Migration Organization (IMO) in 2002 53% of our citizens were unaware of the existence of license for labor activity, 48% were absolutely unaware of the necessity of entry visa,” he mentioned.
In the meantime, not all migrants are easily adapted in the homeland. The obstacle is the unawareness of the new constitution in our country, the absence of former social relations, discrepancy of school program and many other factors. The head of Migration Administration also introduced the Government’s plans to solve the problem. In particular, it has been decided to form a structure which will have a foreign (diplomatic commissions in various countries) and inner (representatives of state structures) networks. Among other efficient suggestions are consultations for migrants by means of the Internet.
In the interview with Panorama.am correspondent the representative of the OSCE mission Ovsanna Babayn mentioned that their aim is not returning all the migrants to the homeland: “We only want to work out a policy promoting return and integration of our citizens. The process of return is only beginning and we have to pass the experimental stage ourselves to understand what factors influence on the decision of a migrant to stay in the country, as well as to understand what kind of policy to lead.” To note, the conference was organized with the assistance of Dutch council of refugees and the OSCE.
