13:39 * 06.11.14
At a cabinet meeting on Thursday, Armenia’s Prime Minister Hovik
Abrahamyan stated that Armenia is the last in the world in terms of
reproduction of population.
He dwelt on the issue of sex ratio during pregnancy and childbirth.
“As a citizen, Armenia’s premier, and as father of two daughters I
am extremely concerned over the social environment which results in
our losing thousands of future mothers now,” Mr Abrahamyan said.
The premier instructed the Ministry of Social Affairs and the Ministry
of Health to prepare a comprehensive program to resolve the problem
and submit it to the government by next March.
