VOLUMES OF PASSENGERS' STREAMS INCREASE IN ARMENIA YEAR BY YEAR
YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 1, NOYAN TAPAN. The number of people arriving in
Armenia surpassed by 800 the number of ones leaving it in 2006: 983
thousand people arrived, 961 thousand ones left. As Gagik Yeganian,
the Chief of the Migration Agency of the RA Territorial Administration
informed at the January 31 press conference, positive balance of
migration has been fixed in the republic since 2004. In his words,
analyses show that the migration is of season character, connected
with New Year celebrations and leaving for outgoing season work.
According to it, negative balance of migration is usually fixed in
January-May, positive one in June-July, negative in August-September,
and positive balance of migration is fixed in October-December.
G.Yeganian also stated that the volumes of passengers' streams
increase year by year. In his words, the total volume of passengers'
streams increased 15.9% in 2006 compared with the previous year. In
G.Yeganian's observation, volumes of passengers' streams passing
through the land (car and railway) bording points especially increase,
what made 38% in 2006. By the way, in G.Yeganian's opinion, it is
provided by the circumstance that air transportations of passengers
are more expensive than land ones. In his words, if one of 5
passengers crossed the border by land in 2004, one of 3 did it in
2006.
