YEREVAN, AUGUST 7, ARMENPRESS: The UNDP and the Migration Agency of
the Territorial Ministry will join efforts to establish a migration
consulting center in Armenia’s second largest town of Gyumri.
The main goal of this center will be to inform migrant workers leaving
for other countries, about these countries’ migration legislation
and other related information.
Rafik Potinian, head of the social affairs department at the governor’s
office, told Armenpress that the decision to set up the center in
Gyumri was prompted by the fact that thousands of local men travel
to Russia and the Middle East in search of jobs.
The center will open in September.
