    Armenia is a country that supplies prostitutes for international
    trafficking in countries like Turkey, the United Arab Emirates,
    Germany, Greece, the USA and other western European countries. This is
    the result of research conducted by the Armenian-European centre for
    economic policy and legal consultations (AEPLAC).

    According to the research, most of these women are being trafficked to
    Turkey and the USA (61.4 per cent and 29.5 per cent respectively). A
    considerably small number of them are trafficked to Bulgaria and
    Poland (2.3 per cent each).

    The trafficked women are mainly from Yerevan, Gyumri and Vanadzor - 33
    per cent of them are from Yerevan, 30 from Gyumri and 18 from
    Vanadzor. The research showed that in most cases, women leaving the
    country are planning to work in their new place of residence (76.2 per
    cent), including prostitution (18.6 per cent). As usual, the victims
    of trafficking are women who have economic difficulties and represent
    the poorest strata of urban society.
