YEREVAN. – Zhoghovurd daily has learned from the Armenia migration
report, which the Armenian governmental and the international
organizations had prepared between 2013 and 2014, 28.3 percent of
the country’s population, or 870 thousand people, lives abroad,
the daily reported.

“In this case, [however,] this does not refer to the people who have
left Armenia and renounced [Armenian] citizenship. This refers to
the residents [of Armenia] who are a part of the concept of ‘RA [i.e.

Republic of Armenia] population,’ or the same proverbial 3 million
presented by census results.

“Note that there are numerous noteworthy data in this document.

Especially, according to a number in one of the tables, it turns out
that the estimated number of the RA population has totaled 2 million
690 thousand in 2013, and when we subtract the emigration number in
2013 and 2014, it turns out that the estimated RA population is now
2 million 600 thousand,” Zhoghovurd wrote.
