YEREVAN. - The American Time’s goal is to find truth behind emerging market economies, Armenia is one of them. As a business promotional and investment medium this means discovering economic opportunities while at the same time addressing negative stereotypes that may exist in Armenia. Many times it is discovered that problems of course do exist but are accentuated by traditional media to the point of long-term detrimental effects. The American Times directive is to address these concerns in a non-biased manner. Without doing this as a first course of action no amount of lucrative business propositions by Armenians to Americans will trump inherent risk concerns investors face.
