EMIGRATION OF CHRISTIANS FROM ARAB COUNTRIES UNAVOIDABLE

YEREVAN
Mass emigration of Christians from the Middle East has started,
Director of the Oriental Studies Institute of the National Academy
of Sciences Ruben Safrastyan told the reporters today. “About two
million people left the Middle East countries,” Safrastyan said.
According to him, the process has been assessed by the President of
France as ethnic cleansing. The reason is that extremist organizations
have become more active, the economic condition worsened, and the
Christians feeling the danger started leaving the Arab countries.
“The revolutions that started in 2011 bring to power Islamist forces.
In such conditions the emigration of Christians seems unavoidable,”
the speaker said.
In any case, according to the specialist, Armenia must defend its
communities. All this is important not only for Armenians but the
countries were these processes are taking place.
