Armenian President Robert Kocharyan today met Gagik Yeganyan, chief
of the Migration and Refugees Department of the Armenian government.

Yeganyan said that the negative migration indicator is continuing to
fall in the republic. A positive indicator was already registered
last year: the number of people who arrived in Armenia exceeds the
number of those who left the country by 2,000.

The meeting also discussed the process of implementing a programme on
providing 760 refugee families with accommodation. The meeting also
touched on issues related to the legislative regulation of labour
migration and to reducing the scale of illegal migration.
