Many investors from Diaspora, which are ready to invest in the economy
of Armenia, are scared off by the corruption in Armenia, a
representative of the social and democratic "Hnchakyan" party in
Lebanon, Aleksan Keshkeryan, told ArmInfo correspondent.
He said that unfortunately a businessman which makes investments in
the economy of Armenia is not confident that he will be able to work
within the frames of the law. "We are well aware that corruption is
spread in Armenia and this affects the decision of many businessmen
from Diaspora, which simply scare doing business in Armenia. Besides
the patriotic intentions, an investor should be sure that he will not
be deceived here and he will be able to work in normal competitive
conditions. I think that with such conditions Armenia still is not
ready to the flow of investments from Diaspora", - Keshkeryan said.
Touching on effectiveness of the Armenia-Diaspora conference being
held in Yerevan, he said that the given event is a good opportunity to
discuss the accumulated problems, to listen to and understand each
other.
First of all, we should think how to help our compatriots in Syria. In
Lebanon we feel this problem every day, as it is very much close to us
in all senses. Our country directly suffers of the consequences of the
war in Syria. So, the adequate measures should be taken. In this
context, Armenia's Foreign Ministry has to play a serious part. It is
necessary to find funds to show aid to the Syrian Armenians. I think
that the conference will let us find the mutually acceptable
solutions",- he concluded.
