Only 23 percent of the Armenian population see their future beyond
the borders of Armenia, according to the results of Gallup research
center’s sociological survey, "Azatutyun" radio-station reported.
According to the same survey, 28 percent of the Azerbaijani population
and 26 percent of the Georgian population don’t mind emigrating from
their countries.
Among CIS countries Moldova ranks first with its indexes; 31 percent
of Moldavian population want to leave their country. In Russia that
index is twice low – 17 percent.
Gallup specialists discovered a series of regularities as a result of
the survey. They refute the widespread opinion that the money sent from
abroad to relatives reduces the volumes of immigration. "In reality,
they have become a sort of spur for immigration. People receiving
money from relatives living abroad little-by-little incline to the
view that immigration is the only way to live comfortably", Gallup
experts underline.
