Business delegation from Kazakhstan will not participate in “Invest Armenia - 2016" forum in Armenia, Arsen Ghazaryan, the chairman of the Union of Manufacturers and Businessmen of Armenia, told to reporters on April 21.

"Kazakh large delegation will not arrive, and it is pity. Well, they are citizens of a totalitarian country. Even the first words of command from above are enough for them to refuse the invitation. They explained that they had to refuse to take part in the forum due to security considerations -- not personal, but regional. Well, that's up to them, whereas we will continue to work on strengthening our economy ",  said Ghazaryan. The forum “Invest Armenia – 2016” will be held on April 22 in Yerevan. It is expected that about 250 entrepreneurs from different countries will take part in the forum.
