Through accession to the Customs Union, the RA is faced with a challenge

Recently a group of citizens applied to Helsinki Citizens’ Assembly Vanadzor and expressed their willingness to voice their protest against the new migration law of the RF impeding from leaving for outgoing jobs. During the press conference set up by HCA Vanadzor they presented their issue in a talk with journalists from several news websites.
The issue of people whose families are fed on outgoing jobs is the complications caused by the introduction of the new law. As you already know, according to the newly adopted law in the RF, foreign citizens can stay in the territory of the RF only 90 days every 180 days. Those who leave for outgoing jobs are faced with an issue, since, it sometimes takes them 3 or more months to find a job and only later for earning money, and now they not only become distrustful for a Russian employee, but also in best case, the money earned during the 3 months will suffice only to cover travelling costs and 3-month stay in the RF.
In the opinion of outgoing job seekers, this law is especially stringent and inacceptable for the citizens of the RA, since, according to them, Armenia has joined the Customs Union and therefore, no such issues should have occurred.
However, as it is already evident, more than negative changes stand on the opposite side of the positive changes proposed by accession to the Customs Union.
Those leaving for outgoing jobs are confused that the RA does not have enough means to provide those leaving for outgoing jobs with employment opportunities. As stated by Artak Baghdasaryan, a lawyer by profession and earning a living in the RF by another specialty, “There will be Sodom and Gomorrah, if there was employment in Armenia, why would I leave for Russia or another country… We are going to turn to the RA ombudsman and have them request Vladimir Vladimirovich to display lenient attitude towards Armenians.”
The citizens who applied to the organization over this issue are yet one part of the majority of those who leave for outgoing jobs, who will soon be challenged with deportation from RF and remaining unemployed.
We will keep the viewers updated with further developments over this issue in upcoming articles.
