YEREVAN. – In line with the Russian migration service data, a total of 160,000 Armenian citizens arrived in Russia—via Upper Lars border checkpoint—in the past nine months in 2013.  

Opposition MP Aram Manukyan stated the aforesaid Thursday at the Armenian National Assembly. 

He said that the Government of Armenia is intentionally putting off the issuance of the country’s poverty indices, which should have been made public in September. 

As per Manukyan, the government’s policy squeezes the taxpayers out of  the country, and the frequent changes in the laws also contribute to this occurrence.
