Bohning and M.L. Shloeter-Paredes 1994, Brochmann 1993). In Armenia, where migration is a response to growing post-soviet poverty and hopelessness, permanent or temporary migrations do not “just happen”; there is a process of rationalization that accompanies the “normalization” of labor migration as an acceptable survival strategy/life option as I discuss in the next section.	cache/aeer-396.pdf	txt/aeer-396.txt
