An economic forum - BRIDGE ARTSAKH, organized by the RA Association of
Industrialists and Businessmen and MASTER International Integration
Support Center, took place June 20-21 in Stepanakert, under NKR
President's patronage and Government's support.
Over 300 businessmen from various countries, representatives of
official structures, and RA Government's delegation headed by Prime
Minister Tigran Sargisian participated in the unprecedented-for-NKR
event.
The forum, with its basic topic "State and Business: From Dialogue
to Cooperation", was aimed at attracting interest to the NKR economy,
in particular, to investing in it.
"As you know, after the imposed-on-us destructive war, our country's
rehabilitation was constantly in the focus of Armenia's and Diaspora's
attention. Just thanks to the joint efforts, the Nagorno Karabagh
Republic could change for a short period and generally overcome
the consequences of the sharp humanitarian crisis and the post-war
hardships", stated NKR President Bako Sahakian in his greeting speech,
noting that corresponding conditions were created in Artsakh for the
development of business and for investments.
RA Prime Minister Tigran Sargisian emphasized the importance of
on-site familiarizing with the economic situation and investment
facilities of NKR. He also stressed that, taking into account the
nationwide significance of Artsakh, Armenia's Government should do
everything for intensifying the economic development of NKR and making
the living standards in Nagorno Karabagh higher than those in Armenia.
During the sectional meetings, various issues of up-to-date business
were discussed. The forum participants familiarized with the prospects
of economic development and the investment facilities of NKR. The
offered-at-the-forum ideas will be put into practice via specific
business-programs aimed at the development of local industry and
creation of new jobs.
