"Russia faces serious demographic problem," Gagik Yeganyan, migration
and refugees department head, told a seminar on dual citizenship and
migration challenges in the light of integration.

Citing forecasts, he said, Russia will have 25 million less labor
force in Russia in the year 2020. He said Armenians have created
1 million employment places in that country. Yeganyan believes,
xenophobia in Russia is not a result of special policy but stems from
everyday life.
