YEREVAN. – In the conditions of birthrate decline and aging society,
Armenian population will decline to 2.3-2.5 million towards 2050,
the director of local Population Fund NGO Gagik Hayrapetyan told at
a press conference.

According to the expert the statistical data sampling reproductive
behavior of the Armenian population says that 57% of households in
Armenia should have 3-4 children, but today the average number of
children is 2.

The same findings indicate that 68 percent of the respondents do
not want the second child in the next three years. Only 16 percent
stated the willingness to have the second child and the same number
of respondents have not yet decided on the matter.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
