PanARMENIAN.Net - The number of participants involved in a single
program of Armenian Diaspora Ministry currently totals 2500, Minister
Hranush Hakobyan said.
"600 people settled up in Armenia in the past three years, with 10
participants having married in the framework of Come Home program,"
she said, in response to ARF Dashnaktsutyun member Artsvik Minasyan
request to specify the number of Armenians having retuned to homeland
in the framework of the ministry programs.
Dwelling on the investments attracted, Minister Hakobyan said
the ministry organized a large-scale conference in 2011 with
representatives of different countries' chambers of commerce
participating.
"The business relations established during the conference already
yield positive results. A Diaspora family presently considers an
opportunity to set up a plastic-producing plant in Armenia," she
said, adding that the tourism development index increased by 20-30%
since the establishment of the ministry, with 30 000 people willing
to receive dual citizenship.
