Don't worry, I plan on taking over Canada

vor sareenk?
But I guess Armenians finally having access to oil/natural gas is not such a bad thing after all, we should invade, before USA runs out of oil and invades them again...

Remember China? the one child policy unless you have a son..sadly they did
horrible things to the baby girls...

Then there was Stalin's CCCP (Soviet Union) policy for women to be making alot
of children...actually there is a famous portrait of Stalin (or is it a propaganda
poster? yes, I think that is it!) where Stalin is giving a medal to a Russian woman
who gave birth to alot of sons..of course, future soldiers for he Red Army...
this is why Iran is thinking of this "population" ratio....

This is a problem in other nations, not just Armenia...but I understand the post you
made.


I know a Armenian person that learned English so she could emigrate out of
Armenia...she said something (forgive me if I am wrong or mistaken,,,it is
a long time since I had that conversation) like there was no jobs or the situation
was not good there...

Now the Muslims have alot of children...and they want to populate Europe and
all over...that is the aim of Islam according to their holy bible the prayer book.

Christianity use to be the largest religion in the world.

Re: Population of Armenia; is there any hope?

Here is an interesting way to think of Turkey and Turks...right or wrong is a matter
of opinion...

Turkey (oh why could'nt we think of a better name? I also do not like to call that
city the other name, I only recognize Constantinople...

"Turkey and Turks" is a name. It is not who they are: Read: Muslims.

If they were not Muslims but Christians, they probably would not have invaded
what we now label on a map as "Turkey." They would of been like other
neighboring Christian communities.

Now, that popular saying: TOGTIADT....well, if they had been the Moroccans,
the saying would be: TOGMIADM....

Armenia is surrounded by Muslim nations and Muslims. Make not mistake,
Azerbijan would love to build a mosque in Yerevan.

So would any other Muslim nation. Shiite or Sunni. Muslims follow the Koran.
The Koran tells them to do this. Simple formula.

Re: Population of Armenia; is there any hope?

Armenia has to comprehend...Muslim nations are not it's friend, no matter who
or what faction they are...they make unions with one group and can turn on them
at will.....

Islam calls any non-Muslims "Infadels." Remember what the Turkish governor
or region leader would label Armenians? It is insulting....they also did this
to Greeks.

think how much better the world would be if they had accepted the Lord and
did not accept Islam.

Christianity is like the candle in Church. It is light in a dark room. It is truth.
It is the prayers of the devout to the Lord. Lightness in a world that is
challenged with darkness.

Nostradamus said in his famous writings that the challenge of our times would be
Muhammadians vs. Christianity.

He also used madaphores (I know, sp. error) and emblems like the Moon, Sun,
and the Crescent--he got that one right...so that is obvious...
and he spoke of the forces of both sides....

He was the forseer...from the 15th century.

What can we do to cope with this problem? It seems that people who get wealthier, tend to get less children than people who are poor, so a more prosperous Armenia is not the solution. A more aggressive state policy promoting people to get more children?

This is a global problem, every modern country faces this 1 child problem.

The Will to Go: Series of polls and studies show disturbing numbers for future population

According to UN forecasts, in 2050, Armenia’s population will be 2.3-2.5 million, down some 800,000 from the official count. It is believed that, in fact, the real population of Armenia is about 2.3-2.5 million presently, meaning no growth is expected over the next three decades.

Influencing the condition is a reluctance by couples to have multiple-children families, as 46 percent of adults who responded to a UN poll said they do not plan to have more than one child, because they hope to leave the country.

Meanwhile neighboring Azerbaijan is predicted to double from today’s nine million to make 18 million!!!!!

These are among remarkable statistics that also influence emigration numbers recently released by the Head Department of Civil Aviation.

According to trends of travel, Armenians are very much ready to abandon their home country and move abroad.

Last year saw the number of outgoing passengers increase by 87,000 as compared to 2009 (in 2009 nearly 730,000 left Armenia. In 2010 the number of outgoing passengers was more than 816,000). Further, more than 60,000 people left Armenia without returning, nearly 39 percent more than the previous year.

Deputy Representative of the United Nations Population Fund in Armenia Garik Hayrapetyan says that two main types of migration are observed in Armenia – internal (the movement of the population from rural areas and small towns to cities) and external (people migrating abroad).

“This is a problem that requires a complex solution, since people move because they seek a better, and most importantly, more secure life,” says Hayrapetyan.

According to a study conducted by the Gallup International research center in 2009 to gauge migration trends in the former Soviet countries, 39 percent of the population in Armenia wish to leave Armenia permanently.

Former Central Bank governor Bagrat Asatryan considers economic conditions as the main causes of migration, in particular the inflation that reached nearly 10 percent in Armenia in 2010.

“Inflation next year will be higher than its expected level. The sad thing is that emigration will increase. As many as 65,000 people emigrated last year. This is the result of the ‘talented’ policies of the authorities,” says Asatryan, a pro-opposition figure.

According to the United Nations national report “Migration and Human Development: Opportunities and Challenges”, the causes of migration in Armenia are the shortage of jobs, obstacles to doing business and general unsatisfactory social conditions.

According to the report, 80 percent of emigrating Armenians leave for Russia, where they are likely to get hard and low-paying jobs.

These people are mainly from Armenian provinces, like Beniamin Kirakosyan, from the town of Chambarak in Armenia’s Gegharkunik province.

“I am a retired military man receiving a pension. But thank God, I can work to maintain my family. But where can I work? I don’t know whether to go to Yerevan, or to go abroad for seasonal work or leave the country for good,” he says.

The nearest census of the population in Armenia is due this year. The last such census taken in 2001 showed the number of Armenia’s permanent population at a little more than 3.2 million.

There is only one solution, an atomic bomb.

In the old days, it was easier to control 1 million people than to kill 1 million people. Now it's far easier to kill 1 million people than to control them.

Re: Population of Armenia; is there any hope?

The one child problem is not only due to over population, it's due to AGING population. There aren't enough people working to support all the people who can't/aren't working. Also, the introduction of gender "equality" has ruined the balance between work outside the home and the work inside/around the home. If both men and women have demanding careers, the home becomes a place to sleep, not a place to live. This type of lifestyle doesn't permit for a family unit so couples can't afford any more than 1 child because all their time and energy is being spent outside the home. In the case of Armenia, there aren't enough jobs as is.... so you have men and women competing for positions and society is losing.
