The General Assembly of the UNO declared December 18 the day of
migration. That day in 1990 was signed the UNO’s International
Convention on the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of their
Families.
According to the records 1 from 35 people living on the earth or
around 200 million people are migrants, that is to say they live and
work in foreign countries.
As the reporter of Aysor.am informs, Gagik Yeganyan the Head of the
State Department for Migration and Refugees of the Republic of Armenia
mentioned, that the rumors, as if the citizens of Armenia leave for
Turkey to find there a job are exaggerated.
"The Turkish officials even mention concrete numbers 50-70 thousands,
but lately researches dedicated to this issue have been announced by
the "Eurasia" fund", – G. Yeganyan mentioned.
According to him, the facts given in the mentioned research come to
prove that the numbers of the Armenian citizens working in Turkey
are far from the reality.
