Brain Drain?

Or is it Brain Salad?

There is an article in today’s ArmeniaNow with that title. It seems it has to do with Chess.

 

A couple of days ago we saw the following news item.

Maybe my English is not that good. Will someone please “translate”, err, I mean explain what is being said here?

In several years, mononational Armenia will need foreign labor force,

Sona Harutyunian, the head of the State Employment Service Agency

of Armenia, said this at the press-conference, Tuesday. She stated

that today, not only Armenians of Diaspora, but also citizens of

China, India and Iran come to Armenia looking for a job. The Agency

doesn't yet hold social research on tendency of the migration rate

of foreigners to Armenia. Nevertheless, S.Harutyunian emphasized

that the number of the Chinese working in the merchandise markets

as salesmen has visually increased. But the number of Armenians

- citizens of Iraq and Lebanon, looking for a job in Armenia is

known. According to official data, this number doesn't surpass several

dozens. S.Harutyunian also told the example of Lithuania where several

years ago the rate of migration from the country led to the deficit

of labor force in the country. It's worth mentioning that, according

to the Agency's data for the beginning of 2007, 102 thousand people

looking for a job were registered in Armenia. Over 84 thousand of

them are unemployed, at present.
