Levon Ter-Petrosyan was not right in his calculations about emigration

“There are no news about increase in migration,” Head of the Migration Agency at the Ministry of Territorial Administration of Armenia Gagik Eganyan told a press conference today, asked to elaborate whether former Armenian president Levon Ter-Petrosyan was right by saying in his recent speech that emigration is very much on the increase recently.

Further he said he did not agree with the data publicized at the UN Office in Armenia according to which emigrating in Armenia beginning from 1992 has made 1.3 million.

According to Eganyan there are various methodologies to calculate the migration outflow but his calculations have revealed that that number is 1.1 million.
