YEREVAN. – In line with the official data issued by the Armenian State Migration Service, the negative difference between those that departed from Armenia and those that arrived in the country in January-February 2013 is 22,122, Haykakan Zhamanak daily reports.

“This is 7,728 more than the same indicator in the year past. In other words, the number of those that left Armenia—without having returned [to the country]—grew by more than 56 percent in the first two months of this year, as compared to last year,” Haykakan Zhamanak writes.
