YEREVAN, MARCH 25, ARMENPRESS. The launch of activities of “Investors’ club of Armenia” non-public contractual investment fund was officially heralded on March 25 with the participation of the Prime Minister of Armenia Karen Karapetyan and over 3 dozens of Diaspora Armenian businessmen from the Russian Federation. Note that back on January 25, 2017 numerous Armenian businessmen in Russia had issued a statement on their readiness to support the reform process in Armenia and to participate together with the Government of Armenia in the initiatives and business projects in Armenia.

As “Armenpress” was informed from the press service of the Armenian Government, in his welcoming remarks the Prime Minister said, “I personally know each participant of the club and I am in friendly relations with most of them. In reality this club will be groundbreaking for us not only for that healthy and long-term investments will be attracted to Armenia, but also will have a new corporal culture. I have repeated numerous times in meetings with our citizens that several countries which acquired new quality during the last 20-30 years faced no lesser problems than we face today. But their courage, ambitious projects, pragmatic and rational thinking, will, purposefulness and in some cases toughness have resulted in changing the country. Why cannot we have a good country? Why others can, but we cannot?”

Karen Karapetyan stressed that each member of the “Investors’ club of Armenia” has created a business empire and by coming to Armenia they will change a lot. Karen Karapetyan thanked the members of the club, noting that their presence in Armenia will fill numerous gaps. He also stated that the club is not a charity club, but an aggressive business club.

The “Investors’ club of Armenia” is the first non-public contractual investment fund registered by the CB Armenia. The goal of the club is to foster the development of key spheres of the Armenian economy such as energy, including alternative, energy and tourism infrastructural, mining, ore processing, food and light industry by attracting domestic and external private resources.
