YEREVAN, JULY 22, ARMENPRESS. Armenia’s High Commissioner for Diaspora Affairs Zareh Sinanyan commented on the problem of repatriation after the Cabinet meeting today.
“Of course, after 2018 a lot of our compatriots have purchased real estate in Armenia, some people have also been repatriated. But both the COVID-19 and the recent war hindered the continuation of this process”, he told reporters.
Commenting on the statement of caretaker minister of economy Vahan Kerobyan according to which a lot of jobs are being created in Armenia and it is necessary to engage the Diaspora-Armenians, the High Commissioner said: “Providing with jobs is already not a call, if high growth in jobs is being registered, it’s already a process and at least a content part connected with repatriation exists”.
