The promotion of democracy and economic development in Armenia is as
important for the Diaspora compatriots as the recognition of Genocide,
according to Richard Giragosyan, the director of the Regional Studies
Center.
Speaking to reporters on Friday, the expert said that the country
should not be a Disneyland for the Diaspora Armenians as those people
cannot restrict their interest to the Marriot hotel only.
Giragosyan, who has been living in Armenia for seven years, said
he better perceives the difficulties that the Diaspora guests may
experience.
He called for government measures to facilitate life to encourage more
Diaspora Armenians to live in Armenia. As part of such efforts, he
proposed making country more attractive by eliminating the challenges
that the people in Armenia face today. He particularly referred to
the oligarchs, noting that they govern the country's economy today.
Other steps to encourage Diaspora Armenians' return could be democratic
and fair elections, he added.
