YEREVAN.- Armenia must invest in products and services that are competitive in the global market, President Serzh Sargsyan said.

“Our main advantage is in the entrepreneurial spirit and the talent of our nation. Our young men and women, working in the area of modern technologies, maintain the security of our country, like our soldiers do. Any one, who works honestly and produces value, does the same,” president believes.

In his address during the swearing-in ceremony on Tuesday, President Sargsyan noted that government’s main task is to increase opportunities for such people to express themselves.

“Let us provide these people the opportunity and they will do the rest, they will generate, create, develop.

To this very end we also have to ensure dynamic development of Armenia-Dispora cooperation. I am confident that together we can accomplish much more. We have to maximally engage the potential of the Diaspora, its human potential first and foremost. Every competitive and development-oriented investment project will receive support by the authorities of the Republic of Armenia.

Through the electoral campaign we all enjoyed ample opportunities for exposure and introducing our programs. At the same time, each of us was eager to get our ideas down fully and succinctly. Elections do not mark a destination; they signify a new phase. This is the phase for unrelenting and persistent work. The time has come to move from words to work, to reinforce words with work.”
