NUMBER OF MIGRANTS GOES DOWN

The number of people who arrived in Armenia exceeds the number of
those who departed by 15.9 percent. `During 2006, 983741 people
arrived in Armenia and 21750 left Armenia,’ Gagik Yeganyan, migration
agency head of territorial administration ministry, told a press
conference today.

In his words, the tendency started three years ago. Speaking about
the reasons, Yeganyan did not exclude the fact of murders in
Russia. The agency head believes migration is seasonal now.
