Businessman Karapetyan emphasizes the significance of restoring ties  between the  Diaspora and the historical homeland

ArmInfo. Russian businessman of Armenian origin and head of the Tashir group of companies Samvel Karapetyan has extended his fourth letter from the Armavir  penitentiary institution (PII) through his legal team, where he noted  the importance of reestablishing the ties between the Diaspora and  the historical homeland.

In the letter, which was conveyed by his lawyers, Karapetyan stated  that  since Nikol Pashinyan took office, the presence of the Diaspora  in the life of the Republic of Armenia has been completely dismantled  in a short period of time.

According to him, it is absurd that compatriots from France, Holland,  Russia and other countries are banned from entering Armenia, being  recognized as personae non gratae.

Karapetyan added that these authorities have managed to diminish the  patriotic desires of Diaspora businessmen to invest in the Homeland  and create jobs there in a short period of time.

"After all, our Diaspora is not only a huge potential for creating  economic and business value in the homeland, but also a powerful  lobbying force. All of this is also a result of the arrogant behavior  of a small group of pensioners who interfere in the internal affairs  of other countries through their NGOs.

Sometimes there is a misconception that the Diaspora and the Republic  of Armenia do not need each other, leading to a loss of the biggest  and most valuable ally for Armenia's development. Our country has  nearly lost its most valuable and immeasurable capital - our  Diaspora, and they have successfully reached a point where there are  no investments from them. The Diaspora must again become one of the  pillars of Armenia.  We will fight," Karapetyan wrote.
