Armen Ghazaryan
“We have serious problems with data…
In Armenia, inflows have very often been connected with refugees.”
Artak Markosyan
“Our region forces us to take demographic and migration processes very seriously. We are in a region which, unlike European countries or the American continent, is still in a growth phase.”
Areg Kochinyan
“Global trends in the world are becoming only more unmanageable and crisis-ridden, and in parallel we also recorded that the state is about everything but private initiative.”
