YEREVAN.  Armenia’s capital will host an international forum on “Prospects for development of Diaspora in globalizing world” on May 26-27, 2011.

The Armenian government will provide AMD 10 m to the Ministry of Diaspora. The decision is included on the agenda of May 5 governmental session.

According to a certificate of Armenian Ministry of Diaspora, about 50 countries around the world have diaspora and a public agency to work with it. These agencies never held a joint event or a meeting, though they share the same problems.
