As of January 1 the number of permanent population in Armenia is 2 million 998 thousand 600. Compared to last year it is less by 12.000. The data of the National Statistical Service have recently become the subject of study for ethnographer Hranush Kharatyan. “It means that 12.000 people have come out of the registration. It doesn’t mean how many people have left Armenia and doesn’t give the overall picture of emigration,” she said. What do the citizens think of the official data? “I don’t believe, as the outflow of the people is more,” said one of the citizens. “There are13-15 people registered at our address, but at present 4 people live there, the rest is abroad,” said a citizen. The number of eligible voters during the Constitutional referendum was 2.551.682. Taking into account the overall number of population, it gives rise to doubts among the citizens. Details on the video
