Stable economy necessary to bring Diaspora Armenians to homeland: political analyst

The incumbent authorities have not undertaken any step during the past one and a half year that will raise the desire of Diaspora Armenians to return to Armenia and settle here, political analyst Gagik Hambaryan told Aysor.am, referring to PM’s statement in Los Angeles that all the Armenians of the world must have RA passport.

“Such statements are like catching fish in dirty water. When the incumbent authorities undertake steps in that direction only that time we may say whether it will give results or not. As of now the statement of having RA passports is just an idea voiced by Nikol Pashinyan,” Hambaryan said, adding that he has not seen any step undertaken by either incumbent or previous authorities.

“It was in the program of the incumbent authorities. They should have done something in that direction during the past year and a half. Let’s see what Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan will do after returning from Los Angeles,” the political analyst said.

Gagik Hambaryan said to return the Diaspora Armenians to homeland it is necessary to ensure a few pre-conditions and first of all stable economy.

The political analyst also stressed the importance of granting them the same rights as all the other citizens of Armenia have.
