In part one of our interview with Move2Armenia co-founder Garik Gevorkyan, we delved into the origins, early challenges, and the pivotal role this movement plays in helping individuals relocate to Armenia. From offering a concierge service for repatriated families to providing comprehensive information for potential movers, Move2Armenia has established itself as an invaluable resource for those considering a new life in Armenia.

 

As Move2Armenia looks towards the future, its alignment with organizations like Repat Armenia becomes increasingly significant. Since 2012, Repat Armenia has been instrumental in promoting repatriation and offering support for the integration of individuals and families into Armenian life. This longstanding mission, along with the efforts of Move2Armenia, creates a synergistic relationship that benefits the repatriate community. Through collaboration, the organizations leverage each other's strengths, resources, and networks to enhance the repatriation experience. This partnership not only exemplifies a shared commitment to nurturing the Armenian diaspora's connection to their homeland but also ensures that the collective efforts continue to evolve, meeting the needs of repatriates in innovative and impactful ways.

 

As we move into part two, we'll explore the future trajectory of this rapidly growing movement. We will discuss Move2Armenia's future plans, ambitions, and how they envision their impact and growth in the coming years. This segment promises to shed light on their ongoing efforts to expand their services and the innovative strategies they plan to implement to continue supporting the repatriate community in Armenia.

1. Move2Armenia has grown significantly in a short period, becoming one of the best-known brands for relocation and repatriation in Armenia. What are your future plans and ambitions for the movement? How do you envision its growth and impact in the coming years? 

 

As Move2Armenia continues to establish itself as the leading brand for relocation and repatriation in Armenia, our plans and ambitions are geared toward expanding and enhancing our existing services. Our vision for the movement’s growth and impact in the coming years encompasses several key areas:

 

Consultation and Legal Assistance:
Move2Armenia Business will continue to provide essential consultation and legal assistance, aiding in relocation and business registration in Armenia. This remains a core aspect of our mission, ensuring smooth transitions for businesses and individuals alike.

 

Employment Initiatives:
We plan to maintain and grow our employment-oriented events. These include job fairs that connect local employers with potential highly qualified employees, aiding both parties in meeting their professional needs and ambitions.

 

Cultural and Educational Navigation:
Recognizing the rich cultural tapestry of Armenia, we are committed to developing initiatives that help newcomers navigate and engage with Armenian cultural and educational offerings. Our recently launched application serves this purpose by providing comprehensive information about various events and activities across Armenia, not just in the capital. The app, available in Armenian, Russian, and English, can be downloaded from the AppStore and PlayStore.

 

New Ventures
Move2Market in Yerevan:
In December, we are excited to open Move2Market in the heart of Yerevan. This will be the largest department store of local DIY brands in Armenia, offering a perfect place to purchase gifts and souvenirs. Additionally, it will serve as a venue for educational events. The Move2Market courtyard will feature a food court, hosting some of the most exciting gastro projects in Yerevan.

 

Ongoing Improvement of the Move2Armenia Catalog&FAQ:
We are committed to continually improving and updating our extensive catalog of Armenian companies with verified information. This resource is crucial for newcomers and locals seeking reliable business and service providers in Armenia.

 

Move2Armenia Cluster
We are actively searching for a location and venue to create a large creative cluster that will unite more than 100 teams and performers, both Armenian and international. The Move2Armenia cluster will serve not only as a hub for production and sales but also as a networking platform for like-minded individuals.

In summary, Move2Armenia’s future is focused on broadening our support for those who choose Armenia as their place of living, work, or education. By enhancing our existing services, introducing new ventures, and continuously updating our resources, we aim to facilitate a smoother transition for repatriates and significantly contribute to the local community and economy.

 

 

Community engagement is a vital aspect of Move2Armenia, and our regular meetings and events have been pivotal in fostering a sense of belonging among our community members. Here are some highlights and success stories from these gatherings:

These events and initiatives by Move2Armenia not only offer practical support and learning opportunities but also cultivate a community spirit.

Our future plans involve building on these successful foundations to further strengthen and expand our community engagement.

 

 

In response to the significant humanitarian challenges faced by Armenia recently, particularly the plight of tens of thousands of displaced people from Artsakh following a nine-month blockade, Move2Armenia has adapted its initiatives to provide targeted support. Our focus has been on facilitating employment opportunities for these displaced individuals, recognizing the importance of making them feel valued and capable of contributing their skills to Armenian companies.
