Short extract from an interview with Azamat Khakuy:

Can you tell us a little about your career and how you started?

Right after finishing school, on September 1st, I went to work. My first profession was injection molding machine operator.

Then came the army, then education, and then the civil service, where I worked until 2011. Due to a number of life circumstances, I had to quit my job, and that’s when my new life began, which led me to where I am now.

I’ve worked for several organizations. The first was a leasing company, where I worked as an international relations consultant. Then I worked for a company founded by Russian and South Korean engineering holdings. It was a large company engaged in the construction and modernization of oil and gas plants.

Later, I became an advisor to an international investment fund [Gotthard Investment Fund], and three years ago I moved to Armenia. That’s my entire career path.
