Armenian brides lose their fiances
December 18 is international migration day. According to sociologist Aharon Adibekyan, there are 1.5 million Armenians who have been granted citizenship in the Russian Federation, and about 500,000 emigrants are formulated as employed or illegal migrants. "In Russia only 1/3 of Armenian men marry Armenian women, about 60-65% marry mostly Russian women. And so, our brides lose their fiances, this is one of the negative consequences. The worst outcome is that we have a high level of education, but we are preparing a specialist for Russia," said Aharon Adibekyan. The sociologist also noted that about 300,000 of these 500,000 people are meant to stay in Russia, about 100,000 of which are migrants who are coming to Armenia in the summer or winter and then returning to Russia for work. The same problem is in the field of education: students are delighted to study in Russian-speaking universities, which will provide them opportunity to work in Russia or in countries where Russian is used.
