YEREVAN. – Finding a job is the number-one problem for the Syrian
Armenians who have moved to Armenia, Diaspora Minister Hranush Hakobyan
said Wednesday during a conference devoted to the Syrian Armenians.
In the minister’s words, the high paying jobs are scarce in Armenia,
whereas the Syrian Armenians are used to high salaries. Also, numerous
Syrian Armenians wish to establish their own business in Armenia, but,
to do that, the country’s legislation and market need to be studied.
In his turn, Small and Medium Entrepreneurship Development National
Center Director Varazdat Karapetyan informed that they are carrying
out a number of programs and Syrian Armenians likewise could get
involved in them. “If twenty people are gathered, we can start the
activities tomorrow!” he noted.
Diaspora Minister Hranush Hakobyan added that close to 150 Syrian
Armenians have already found jobs.
The businessmen attending the conference introduced several job
opportunities, some which included housing and joint activities. By
and large, however, the Syrian Armenians were suggested to engage in
a variety of jobs.
