“We greatly appreciate the activities of FAR, which has carried out a number of humanitarian and charity activities in Armenia’’ the Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan said in a greeting speech addressed to Diocese of Armenian Church of America (Eastern) delegation led by Archbishop Khajag Barsamian and President of the Fund for Armenian Relief.

Information and Public Relations Department of the RA Government confirmed “Pastinfo”s information that Archbishop Barsamian stated that FAR is determined to continue its mission, including involvement of investments. FAR Board Chairman Randy Sapah-Gulian introduced FAR's service sector investment program to the Prime Minister T. Sargsyan welcomed the initiative and assured that the RA Government encourages such programs and is ready to assist them.

Sapah-Gulian also informed that the centre that will be built by next year in Armenia will provide 400 -1000 jobs in service industry and will serve consumers who communicate in English and Russian.

In his turn, the PM suggested to focus on Arabic-speaking consumers as well, because events taking place in Middle East make many Arab-speaking Armenians return to Armenia, so their inclusion in labor marked must be taken into account.

The parties also touched upon other activities of Fund for Armenian Relief, especially in education and healthcare.
