Suren Karayan: Due to overloaded situation, we had no opportunity to  attend World Economic Forum in Davos

ArmInfo. The World Economic  Forum in Davos could become a good platform for presenting the  Armenian investment projects, but it is not the only platform,  Armenian Minister of Economic Development and Investments Suren  Karayan told reporters following the Government's sitting on January  26.

The 47th World Economic Forum was held in Davos, Switzerland, on  January 17-20. Armenia failed to attend the forum. "We keep a close  eye on these processes, however, due to the overloaded situation, we  had no opportunity to attend the forum," he said.    

When replying to the remark that Georgia and Azerbaijan participated  in the forum at the level of Premier and ministers and had a chance  to speak of large projects, while Armenia failed to use that  convenient platform to present such programs as construction of the  new power unit of the Armenian NPP or Iran- Armenia railway, the  minister stressed that these projects are presented on other  platforms and to all potential investors. "Yes, the forum in Davos  would be a good platform to present these projects, but it is not the  only one and our non-participation does not at all mean that our  investment projects will not be presented to the potential  investors," Karayan said.
