Strong Armenia party proposes its own solutions to demographic  problem

ArmInfo. The "Strong Armenia" Party proposes its own solutions to the demographic problem. This was announced on social media by party representative Lilia Shushanyan.

According to her, each family with four children will receive 2  million drams, and upon the birth of a fifth child, the family will  be provided with free housing. The party also aims to address the  needs of poor families, especially those with children.

Shushanyan noted that, from a demographic perspective, the Republic  of Armenia is a dying state. This is confirmed by American and  European experts. Over the past 35 years, the region's population has  grown by 17.2 million people, primarily due to the population growth  in Azerbaijan. This trend will continue over the next 25 years: in  both Georgia and, especially, Armenia, the population will continue  to decline, while in Azerbaijan, on the contrary, it will increase,  exceeding 11 million. According to forecasts from both the World Bank  and the UN, the country will remain at 2 million people.

"Therefore, from a demographic perspective, we are already a defeated  state. As a result of the wars, the country has suffered  approximately 5,000 deaths and 12,000 injuries, which inevitably  impacts the marriage rate and the decline in the birth rate.  Moreover, the mortality rate over the past six years has exceeded the  birth rate. In this situation, drastic steps are needed to rectify  the situation," the Strong Armenia party representative emphasized.
