YEREVAN. – Total of 15 cases of human trafficking were registered in
the first half of this year, as compared to 11 cases of the same
period last year, Armenian Attorney General’s Board report informs
Armenian News-NEWS.am.

Armenia is first of all a source, then transit and final destination
country. The country is source for Turkey and the Arab Emirates with
female sexual trafficking and Russia with male labor trafficking,’
lawyer Hovik Arsenyan told Armenian News-NEWS.am.

He also added that women at the age of 16 to 37 are mostly subjected
to sexual trafficking, labor trafficking includes all the age groups
from the underage to the elderly, and regarding the organ trafficking,
age does not matter.

“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
