Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan received the Commissioners of Diaspora affairs in foreign countries. Welcoming the attendees, the Prime Minister highlighted the establishment of the Diaspora Affairs Commissioner's Institute.

"Years ago, we had a political decision, but now it has a particular function and is taking place. What is our aim and purpose? Our goal is to make Armenia-Diaspora relations more institutional and state-centered and to try to form a system that will allow being in daily conversation with our communities in the Diaspora on behalf of the Republic of Armenia. In some sense, the Diaspora's problems, agendas, concerns, and issues will be standardized and systematic. Present to the RA government," said Nikol Pashinyan.

According to the Prime Minister, it is important to clearly divide the functions and record that the Diaspora, no matter how important it is, is precious to us, but it is not an institution for the management of the Republic of Armenia. On the contrary, as important and dear as the Republic of Armenia is for the Diaspora, the Republic of Armenia is also an institution for the management of the Diaspora.

"This is an essential feature. And what are those relations like? It should be noted that there are formulations of this issue; they have always been, but we need to adjust the relationship between these formulations and reality. Let me also say that perhaps there is a need to formulate and propose answers to that question in a new situation. And in that matter, of course, we count on you because this is not a case where the government will put some wording on the table. We can express ideas, we can have proposals, we can have reactions to your proposals, but it is a work we must do together," said the Prime Minister.

According to Nikol Pashinyan, this situation and work raise many questions, and today, there are only some of the answers. At the same time, the Prime Minister expressed his belief that together, they would be able to find answers to the questions.

"But let's also say that the list of questions is not formulated very clearly. In other words, a new institution, new questions, a new point of view, and new perspectives are natural, and I will not try to use today's opportunity to go into such substantive details. I want to welcome you all, express my joy and satisfaction at the opportunity to have such contact, and thank you for your willingness to take on this complicated function because the leverage is low, the responsibility is great, and, of course, it takes a certain courage and bravery. Is required of everyone on the way to assume that status," the head of the government noted and welcomed the move of the commissioners, the intention to advance the agenda that exists and can exist between the Republic of Armenia and the Armenians of the world.

Chief Commissioner of Diaspora Affairs Zareh Sinanyan noted that the commissioners are involved in community life and have serious ties with Armenia. They are ready to undertake the work and be a link between the office of the Chief Commissioner of Diaspora and the communities. Zareh Sinanyan informed that the number of commissioners already exceeds a dozen, and the process of appointing commissioners in different countries of the world is continuous.

Prime Minister Pashinyan called on those present to focus on Armenia and its interests during their activities to make Armenia one of the most important components of identity. During the meeting, issues related to the functions of the Institute of Diaspora Affairs Commissioner and the strengthening of Armenia-Diaspora ties were discussed.
