Today in Noravank Foundation a lecture was held on "The face of
poverty in Armenia; its principles" item.

The author of the report is PHD Harutyun Marutyan scientist of the
RA Sciences National Academy.

According to the official web site of the foundation the report is
based on method quality investigation and the author when presenting
the survey did not speak of any figures. The report was based on
"Stories about Poverty" books the author of which is Harutyun Marutyan
himself and his colleagues. The books cover in detailed interviews
done with the poor people and authors’ analysis. And the second book
on the current item published recently covers the same families which
gave interviews in 1994-2000. The mission was to found out the changes
and the dynamic of those 33 families.

The analysis of the material in 1994-2005 about the poor families
showed that there are some changes but what kind of changes they were,
whether they were in the results of the economic growth in Armenia
which is announced.

The author mentioned that the land extension in Armenia does not have
its positive impacts as the immigration process is not stopped and
vice versa it keeps growing.
