In recent years, a strategic direction has been taken to work with the Diaspora, but besides the Ari Tun program and the ultimate goal of having 4 million population in Armenia, the attitude towards immigrant Diaspora Armenians and the deep contradictions in public perceptions are not seriously considered. On the one hand, the investment potential of the Diaspora is assessed, on the other hand, there are criticisms such as refusal of citizenship of their country of residence, cultural diversity, differences in vision of the country, etc. Opinions are not definite even in the Diaspora. Most Diaspora Armenians strictly rule out the possibility of returning to Armenia because of an improper investment environment, growing corruption risks, public stereotypical perceptions, and many other reasons. However, there are many repatriates currently in Armenia, who have not only returned and have settled here, but also are actively engage in public, business and educational spheres.
