ArmInfo. For several days now, information about the mass "resettlement" of Indian citizens to Armenia has been circulating in the domestic media. In particular, media publications say that according to official data, the number of Indians who arrived in Armenia in the H1 of 2019 is 15,442 people.
In this regard, it is fair to note that indeed the number of Indian citizens arriving in Armenia is growing dynamically. In particular, over the reporting period, this indicator on an annualized basis increased by 50.8%. However, according to the same official data, the number of Indian citizens who left Armenia during the reporting period exceeded the number of arrivals. So, in the H1 of 2019, 17,274 Indian citizens left Armenia. The negative balance, as it seems, amounted to almost 2 thousand people, which indicates the purely seasonality of the Indians' stay in Armenia, but not about stable labor migration.
According to the "Zhokhovurd" newspaper, Indians in Armenia are considered cheap labor.
