Aravot: Armenian expat scholar says psychological factor is true cause
for emigration

May 10, 2014

YEREVAN. ` According to scholar and psychologist Vahan Ghuyumchyan,
who recently left Armenia due to the `lukewarm climate’ created in the
country, the main reason for emigration is not the people’s social
situation, and the psychological factor plays a bigger role, Aravot
daily reported.

`Ghuyumchyan himself had the opportunity to leave [Armenia] earlier,
but he did not leave the country believing that our people’s spirit is
high and they seek to craft an independent state, and this was his
dream, too.

`But when he realized that the people have voluntarily enslaved
themselves, leaving the country became inevitable for the scholar,’
Aravot wrote.
