Armenian MP shocked by what he saw at border with Georgia
Member of Parliament Hrant Bagratyan shared his concerns about emigration on his Facebook wall.
Visiting the north of Armenia and crossing the Georgian border on Sunday, he saw something that shocked him. Hundreds of people are crossing the border on foot, leaving Armenia and carrying along with them their luggage and bed, Lragir reports. These people are happy to leave Armenia. Only some of them were dissatisfied that they cannot take away with them their cattle, the ex-prime minister of Armenia tells.

He says he was terrified by the number of people who crossed the border by the BCP of Bagratashen. On April 21 6000 people crossed the border while usually this number is below 1000, usually 400-500 people daily leave Armenia by this BCP.
