YEREVAN, September 18. /ARKA/. Speaking at the opening of the sixth Armenia-Diaspora forum in Yerevan today President Serzh Sargsyan said: ‘We have to take a step forward and turn to Armenia the investment potential of those Diaspora Armenians who wish to engage in entrepreneurship and make a profit by simultaneously boosting the country’s well-being, creating jobs, promoting the social capital and after all, repatriation. Already today we have such inspirational examples.’
He also said that all the necessary conditions conducive to a propitious investment environment have been created in Armenia. ‘The involvement of our Diaspora-based sisters and brothers will also help enrich and develop the business culture, enhance the country’s image and attractiveness by making it more recognizable in the world and by multiplying our wealth. The Government has committed itself to providing support to all business projects, regardless of investment volumes.’
‘Firmly standing on its feet, our Homeland has the power and the will to finally develop a concept of strategic partnership with the Diaspora. The core framework on which the Homeland-Diaspora cooperation should be built implies strong and developed Armenia, independent and secure Artsakh, the vision of having well-organized communities in the Diaspora, as well as the Armenian spirit and our common sense of brainstorming.
Mother Armenia is the homeland of all Armenians, regardless of their political and other orientations. We recognize and value the Diaspora in its multi-dimensional nature. Over the past few years, I had several occasions to meet with successful young people who were keen to be of service to their homeland. We need to find new ways to ensure their involvement.
Communities in the Diaspora are different from each other depending on when and why they were formed. They are not homogeneous with their historical experience and political views. Although unique, these networks need to be interconnected and cooperate in order to succeed in both their host countries and to build the future of Mother Armenia. -0-
