Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan today posted the following on his Facebook page and added a video:

“Starting from September, high-class Diaspora Armenian professionals will be engaged in the activities of Armenia’s public administration bodies through the iGorts Program.

Armenia will be glad to host them in Armenia and serve their experience for the welfare of our country.”

Pashinyan also posted the press release of the Office of the High Commissioner for Diaspora Affairs in three languages. The following is the English version:

“Haroutune, a graduate of Harvard University, Anahit, a graduate of Sorbonne University, and Aline, a graduate of Liverpool University - all with Master’s or higher degrees - interviewed with the Republic of Armenia’s Ministry of Justice through our Office’s iGorts Program for diaspora professionals to work in Armenia’s government.

Starting in September, 100 Diaspora professionals from across the globe will be placed in over 20 different ministries/offices for 1 year.

The program - designed, implemented and funded by the Office of the High Commissioner for Diaspora Affairs - is the first large scale initiative in the history of the Republic of Armenia to invite diaspora Armenian professionals into our nation’s governance structures.”
