There are over one million Armenian migrant workers in Russia,
informed Gagik Yeganyan, head of the Migration Agency.

He said 80 percent of migrant workers work in Russia. The agency
has reached agreement with the Russian migration agency to create
an information center for supporting migrants, namely checking the
conditions offered by the employee, as well as searching for migrants.

The results of a recent study by the OSCE among households show that
13.9 percent of households are involved in work migration. Gagik
Yeganyan also said most remittances are sent by migrant workers.
