  • BAKU: Syrian And Lebanese Refugees Not To Save Armenian Demography

    SYRIAN AND LEBANESE REFUGEES NOT TO SAVE ARMENIAN DEMOGRAPHY

    News.Az interviews Hadi Rajabli, chairman of the parliamentary
    committee for social policy of Milli Majlis.

    Armenian government has decided to ease the procedure of issue of
    Armenian citizenship by countrymen from Syria and Lebanon. Can such
    measures allow Armenia avoid demographic problems?

    Different countries of the world, especially European countries,
    have used such methods. In particular, such methods are widely used
    by Germany. However, all these measures and methods do not play any
    role in the regulation of the demographic situation. In other words,
    migration does not justify the hopes of addressing the demographic
    situation in a particular country. That is, Armenia will not be able
    to fix the deepening hole in their demographic sphere. Therefore,
    even if a certain number of Armenians come from Syria and Lebanon,
    it would not save it from a demographic crisis.

    In addition, the contingent of Armenians, who might agree to move
    from Syria and Lebanon to Armenia is doubtful. It is possible that
    the Armenians living in Syria will move to Armenia due to the outbreak
    of war in the region. However, the situation in Armenia is even worse
    than in Syria. Therefore, I doubt that Armenians in Syria and Lebanon
    will ever come to Armenia for permanent residence.

    What is the possibility that Armenian authorities will start settling
    refugees from Syria and Lebanon to the occupied lands of Azerbaijan?

    Naturally, Armenian authorities will try to place Armenians from
    Syria and Lebanon to occupied lands of Azerbaijan. However, this will
    not give the effect that would help overcome demographic crisis. In
    addition, even if some of the Armenians from Syria and Lebanon come
    to Armenia for permanent residence, they would not agree to settle in
    Nagorno Karabakh. Armenian refugees are convinced that Karabakh is
    not their land and they would not want to change one unstable place
    for another.

    What problems can the growing demographic problems create for the
    countries of the region?

    Full integration of nations and peoples of the region and the overall
    world is hampered by differences in language, mentality, religion and
    culture. But the situation is that the world is walking towards full
    integration and this process is intensifying with time. All countries
    of the world become connected with each other by any means. The common
    European space is a real example. Problems connected with the growth
    in population can be overcome through integration with the countries
    of the region. And instead of occupying someone's lands Armenia should
    also integrate with them.

    President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev considers it necessary to raise
    the country's population. Why should the state pay so much attention
    to this in the absence of any demographic problems in the country?

    Azerbaijan lacks any signs of problems related to demography. However,
    the growth in population can be useful for the comprehensive
    development of the country, since Azerbaijan is an economically
    developing country and is able to provide its citizens even with
    the double and triple rise in their number, especially that the
    stable demographic situation will become a factor that conditions
    the development of any state in the nearest future. Therefore, the
    population of Azerbaijan must undoubtedly grow.
