    INFORMATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES DEVELOP IN ARMENIA IRREGULARLY

    The First International Youth Conference on Informational technologies was
    held in Yerevan on June 23-25. The conference was held in three universities
    and was divided in three parts: informational technologies in social
    sciences (the Yerevan State university), informational technologies in
    Medicine and Biology (the Yerevan State Medical University), and
    informational technologies in technical sciences (the Yerevan State
    Polytechnic University). Harutyun Terzian, pro-rector of the Yerevan State
    Polytechnic University, said that the decision to choose these three
    universities was conditioned by the fact that these three directions develop
    fast, as well as the influence of the informational technologies on that
    process. Today, one can hardly find a sphere that wasn't developed thanks to
    the informational technologies. The organizers of the conference envisage to
    include more spheres in the conference next year.

    Armen Grigorian, Secretary of the Informational technologies Development and
    Assistance Council at RA Prime Minister's Office, expressed hope that the
    conference, as well as the companies and the structures included in that,
    will help arouse interest in the sphere and prepare more young specialists
    of the international technologies. "The Informational technologies should
    not be observed as a mere sphere, but as an instrument that influences the
    development of all the spheres. We should use it to secure electronic
    development in Armenia," Armen Grigorian said. He said that today this
    sphere doesn't develop regularly in Armenia, stating that utilization of IT
    in the spheres of education, art is on a rather low level. He added that
    there is already a new counselor to RA Prime Minister who will coordinate
    all the credit projects and deal with the creation of electronic management.
    He said there are 4.000 specialists working in the IT sphere and if, their
    number increases to 10.000, the annual profit from the sphere will amount to
    1 billion.
