National Statistical Service of Armenia, said today at a meeting with
journalists that parents have mainly called their daughters Mane,
Milena, Ani, Anahit, Elen and Nare. Narek, Davit, Gor, Erik and Arman
have been the preferable boy names 2010.
The speaker noted with pity that the growth tempo of births has
decreased in 2010. According to sociologist Aharon Adibekyan, the low
index of birth level says that the Armenian society is “growing old”.
According to him, if in the world the average index of births is 20
for 1000 people, in Armenia it is 14.
