ArmInfo. It is necessary to create conditions for involving the best representatives of the Armenian Diaspora in Armenia's governance system. On June 7, presenting the program of the new government in the National Assembly of Armenia, Prime Minister of the Republic of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan stated.
According to him, the current Constitution of the country does not allow representatives of the Armenian Diaspora to be appointed to the post of ministers, since there is a restrictive qualification for a residence in 4 years. In other words, a person must live in Armenia for at least four years in the last four years in order to be able to get involved in the management system. This nonsense, as the prime minister believes, must be deleted, and discussions on the solution of this problem begin. Nikol Pashinyan emphasized that this issue should also be perceived in the context of the process of the repatriation of Armenians to the homeland announced by the government. The prime minister stressed that the process of emigration from Armenia will cease and the reverse process will start, when representatives of the Diaspora and citizens of the country will return. In its turn, the Armenian government will do everything in its power to activate this process. In particular, the active struggle against corruption will continue, with lawlessness, which will enable Armenians around the world to be convinced of the reliability of the historical homeland, in the reliable protection of investments in order to provide an "investment boom". For these purposes zoning of oblasts will be carried out with a view of proportional development of regions and revival of economic activity in them. "It is important to support the enthusiasm of our compatriots so that it does not go away," Nikol Pashinyan said, adding that in the near future a plan of measures will be developed and adopted to implement the provisions of the government program, which will reflect the proportional development of the country's regions, and the repatriation of compatriots.
