What the hell? The government shouldn’t agree to this arrangement, this sounds like it’s crossing multiple human rights violations and sounds icky even in the best circumstances. First the UK continues to deal with
Azerbaijan and this is how they plan to treat Armenia, god the conservative government over there is the worst, I thought they got over at least some of their issues when they removed Boris Johnson but I guess not.

150k is a joke…500k at least and we should be able to handpick which ones are coming in, then we should consider it.

Need an Armenian source, could be Russian disinformation
Having said that, it’s funny how within the last few hours, TASS and Caliber Az picked up on this too. Expect this tidbit of news to be used to sow disinformation. https://i.imgur.com/nfmoX5x.png

Looks like the UK is negotiating with lots of other countries too. I hope Armenia ultimately backs out, this isn’t the kind of migration the country needs.
Also, the fact that the UK is casting its net so wide indicates that they’re in big trouble. Clearly the EU has stopped stemming the flow of migrants from France.

I wouldn’t worry y’all, they couldn’t even get internal agreement over Rwanda.

It’s about around 30.000 illegal migrants. If we divide that number by the four countries then that’d be 7.500 migrants for each. That’s like over a billion dollars, which would for sure be enough to ensure humane conditions for the illegal migrants in Armenia.
I honestly don’t think this is a bad deal, I think Armenia is capable of this and other than the money we would also win more leverage as this illegal migration problem will persist for decades still.
Given that they are negotiating with at least one country each for each emigration hotspot (Costa Rica for South America, Botswana and Ivory Coast for Africa and Armenia for the Middle East) I’d assume that they would not send us illegal migrants from South America (which there aren’t even many) or Africa but would instead send us illegal migrants from predominantly Muslim Middle Eastern countries which many Armenians will definitely not support.

This is what a govt. with no productive economic policies or knowhow does to make money.
The old regimes privatized everything, kept the money, and didn’t pay taxes. The current regime collects taxes and appears to be benevolent, but they make their money a different way.
They’ve proposed selling citizenship for $50-60k, proposed abolishing the turnover tax so they could have more tax money to play with. Opened Amulsar without a new environmental assessment after halting it years earlier. Took out a ton of debt. Turned foreign policy on its head. Now (*allegedly*) this.
If you are desperate for money this is not how you go about getting it.
If they need money and are so worried about Syunik being invaded, incorporate the border with Iran. Incorporate it as a fully nationalized entity. Then lease the rights to it (50yrs/100yrs) with all the countries that wanted to form a trade corridor with us (Greece, Bulgaria, Georgia, Iran, India).
Although a crazy policy suggestion, it could bring in billions, stabilize the area, and be less damaging than importing the dregs from other countries.

any official source of this bullshit?
Original source is [The Times](https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/uk-talks-rwanda-deal-other-nations-countries-zr9nxmlnp), which is legit.
