May 03, 2011|By Bill Kisliuk
A United Nations official based in Armenia said Tuesday that the
national economy needs help from its Diaspora as it emerges from a
painful recession.
Dafina Gercheva, the U.N.’s resident coordinator in Armenia, is
expected to deliver that message Thursday in a speech sponsored by the
Armenian American Chamber of Commerce at the Glendale Hilton.
In an interview Tuesday, Gercheva and fellow U.N. official Armen
Baibourtian said support from the 8 million Armenians living outside
the country is critical to economic expansion and democratic reforms
in Armenia.
