Immigration ensures economic growth in Armenia – public figureSeptember 29, 2012 - 20:02 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Immigration plays an important role in Armenia’s economic development, with 5000 Armenians who resolve to immigrate to RA ensuring 2% economic growth, representative of the newly-established “Repatriation to Armenia” foundation Avetik Chalabyan said. Another foundation representative Sam Samuelyan stressed the need of creating favorable conditions in RA to ensure Diaspora Armenians’ successful return and integration into Armenia’s society, in the face of the tensions in the Middle East. Mr. Chalabyan, in turn, voiced hope that cooperation with the government will yield tangible positive results, despite the small number of Armenians. “Though the number of emigrants exceeds that of immigrants, we consider the establishment of the foundation an appropriate step, given current developments in Syria,” Mr. Chalabyan said.
