    THE ARMENIANS OF THE DIASPORA ARE ELATED?

    The third conference "Armenia-Diaspora" will be concluded today. NA
    deputy, businessman Khachatour Suqiasyan answers the questions of
    "Ayb-Fe".

    - Mr. Suqiasyan, you have participated in the previous two
    conferences. What differences are there between the third conference
    and the previous two ones?

    - During the previous conferences the Armenians of the Diaspora were
    mostly complaining; and today they are more elated. Today the situation
    is more balanced. We think the Diaspora liked the new image of Yerevan.

    - Do you agree with NA Speaker Tigran Torosyan that the role of the
    Diaspora is more important for Armenia than the financial investments?

    - I consider the role of the Diaspora important in any sphere, be it
    cultural, financial or social.

    - Many of the Armenians of the Diaspora tell us that they do not trust
    in the Armenian authorities and that the majority of their investments
    do not serve their aim as they are pocketed by the authorities.

    - I think that the relations between Armenia and the Diaspora must
    be transparent. Whatever is done with the invested sums must be
    made public. I agree that the Armenians of the Diaspora making the
    investments must get an answer about the fate of the sums.

    - Does Armenia need the Diaspora or vice versa?

    - I think today Armenia needs the Diaspora, and this situation will
    last long. But in any case, in the end it will be the Diaspora that
    will need Armenia.
