The sanctions imposed by Western countries against Russia could lead
to the return of Armenian citizens working there.

“Today we notice a tendency towards a fall in the volume of private
money transfers being sent to Armenia, meaning that a return of labor
migrants to Armenia isn’t excluded,” the chairman of the Union of
Employers of Armenia Gagik Makaryan declared.

According to his estimates, the developing situation will raise the
unemployment rate and poverty in the country.
