“Our main target are people who do not live in Armenia or those who moved recently, during last three years, - says Repat Armenia’s Executive Director Vartan Marashlyan. - It does not mean we won’t accept other applications, but this category of people is the most important for us as we try to support people to move to live here and implement their ideas in Armenia.”
