YEREVAN. - Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan had urged me to implement a project in Armenia and do something that would serve as an example for others.

Armenian American businessman Noubar Afeyan, who is the President of Flagship Ventures firm, told the aforementioned to Armenian News – NEWS.am, referring to his meeting with Armenian President during the latter’s visit to the U.S.  

According to Afeyan, he is eager to implement a project in Armenia, for which he needs reliable people.

“During the open format meeting, when I took him to one of my biotechnological companies (Moderna Theurapeutics), he got inspired and urged me to implement new projects in Armenia. His aim was to do something which would serve as an example to the others. I said I would do that eagerly: as you know, I’m quite active in Armenia through my investments in financial sector. But I haven’t yet dealt with high technologies in Armenia, but why not, I can see what opportunities there are, what kind of people are available, who can work honestly in starting western economy-based business. This is the first step – to find people, reliable ones,” Afeyan said.
