Migration from Armenia has deep psychological reasons, which are not
realized by the migrants themselves in most cases, Samvel Khudoyan,
Doctor of Psychological Sciences, said at a press conference in
Yerevan on June 21.
"As early as in the Middle Ages our ancestors resorted to this method.
They were guided by the idea that they could leave the country if it
was bad in it. One can say with confidence that in the neighboring
countries, such as Georgia and Azerbaijan, the situation is not
better, but the number of emigrants is much fewer", he said. He also
stressed that according to surveys, the children, who were told no
tales about patriotism, have no desire to return to their Motherland,
and the children brought up in the patriotic spirit return to the
Motherland. Khudoyan said that it is psychological reasons that do
not allow the people to find a job in their own country.
"In their own country many people are not ready to do the job of a
swabber or a street-cleaner, as they are shy of their relatives and
friends, but they are ready to do the same job outside their country",
he said. In this context, the psychologist suggests agitating the
people in Diaspora to return to their Motherland. Moreover, he
stressed that one should encourage development of small and medium
business in the country, which will allow increasing the workplaces,
because the it is the social problems that make the people leave the
country. Khudoyan thinks that emigration endangers national security.
To note, according to the approximate estimations, a total of 69,000
people left Armenia over Jan-May 2012.
