Emphasizing the importance of involving Armenia-Diaspora ties in the country’s economic development, the Head of Government stated in part, “Our country needs new economic relationship, and the Government is ready to assume the function of promoter of investment activity, work with international investors in a bid to demonstrate that doing business and investing is safe, secure and simply profitable in Armenia. We wish to see a more committed and goal-oriented Diaspora in Armenia’s economic life. We want you to participate in our programs, not just for charity and with investment initiatives, but also in terms of bringing in new a management culture and putting the knowledge and skills of our best Diaspora experts at the service of pan-Armenian objectives.”
With a focus on the need to rebuild and reinvigorate Armenia-Diaspora ties, safeguard the Armenian identity, the meeting discussed issues of cooperation between the Motherland and the Armenian Assembly of America.
A PICTURE SPEAKS A THOUSAND WORDS!
We “congratulate” the leaders of the Armenian Assembly for meeting with, taking a nice photo with and legitimizing the criminal regime which does so much harm to all good Armenian citizens! This horrible daily illegal harm includes pervasive election theft, mega money theft, procurement fraud and encouraging illegal tax evasion for criminal mafia oligarch monopolists actually “serving” illegally INSIDE the government!
We want to know what exactly was discussed – whether it was all-out complicity with these criminals and their crimes or condemnation of them! We are OUTRAGED that it was probably complicity, as condemnation only requires a simple open letter (like the two the Armenian Bar Association in California loudly and proudly published this year), not a large secretive meeting creating complicity suspicion among a well-meaning donor base!
THE SOLUTION? SIMPLE:
ALL diaspora organizations must immediately, publicly, loudly and steadfastly condemn the criminals and demand equal rule of law for all in Armenia! NOW!
