ArmInfo. "Today Armenia faces serious challenges and opportunities, "said Ameriabank Development Director Tigran Jrbashyan on September 18 during his speech at the 6th pan-Armenian forum Armenia-Diaspora, which is held under the motto" Mutual Trust, Unity and Responsibility ".
Jrbashyan noted that migration and population reduction are one of the key challenges for the state. "This problem is more thorough, and we are on the threshold of a demographic crisis. The number of people who left the labor market exceeds the number of people who entered this market, "the expert said. At the same time, he noted the problems associated with performance.
At the same time, as the main problem, Jrbashyan outlined the issue of changing the paradigm of economic development. According to him, from the point of view of foreign investments, which can ensure the further development of the country, Armenia is not in a better position.
Opportunities, according to Jrbshyan within the strategic level are related to two phenomena. As the first, he determined the genetic ability of Armenians to be translators, to work as an integrator with the markets. The second phenomenon that opens opportunities for the state, according to the expert, can be the role of Armenia as a bridge for establishing relations between the EEU and Iran. It should be noted that September 6-20, 2017 in Yerevan under the motto "Mutual trust, unity and responsibility" is the 6th all-Armenian forum of Armenia-Diaspora. The forum will bring together state, political, public figures, leaders and representatives of pan-Armenian structures and organizations operating in communities, journalists, representatives of the spheres of education, culture and the spiritual from the Diaspora. Within the framework of the event, meetings of separate sections will be organized on the themes: "Development of the Armenian Economy", "Regional Challenges and National Security Agenda", "Foreign Policy and Elimination of the Armenian Genocide", and "Problems of Preserving the Armenians".
