Re: Current Condition of Armenia
The program does look promising, but I doubt Armenia has the resources to fund such a program. I also doubt that officials would allocate the funds required. Our defense spending is as high as it can pretty much get in peacetime, plus corruption.
I like this guy alot. He is not the "sky-is-falling" depopulation conspiracy theorist who thinks Serzh is allowing people to leave so that there wont be popular opposition.
He focuses on the positive side of things, while dazzling it with reality and the negative stuff. Its time for Armenians to get real, and stop acting like the population is less than 2 million. Because its not, but it will be if the demographic issues worsen.
June, July, and August estimates put the population at 3,060,000, not including Artsakh. If we do not change, it will become a crisis, but he is right when he says that it is not and the rate of people leaving the country is stable, although negative.
These issues cannot be solved over night and definitely cannot be solved by causing political unrest in the country. We need programs to encourage the growth of birth rates, financial reforms, and government support for the poor. If this is not addressed immediately, the situation will worsen. Fortunately, there are signs of it being addressed, and the government is allocating funds, although small, in order to do more research on the issue.
Armenia is definitely better off than Georgia and Moldova, and we saw improvement in population growth in 2013, although minuscule. It is a sign.
Its becoming harder and harder to find an accurate population number. One that isnt sensationalist, and used for fear mongering. I want numbers, real numbers, not random guesses made to scare people. If it has to be conjecture, than fine.
Hetq.am users lol: What the hell is this guy on about?
Diasporan and Hayastancis have lost so much trust in the government, that they now refuse to believe in a single statistic given to them. This is why Armenians are leaving, because they can't trust each other for the simplest things. Armenians in Armenia, don't even know how many of them are in the country. Its like a bunch of headless chickens in a cage.
