ARMENIAN GOVERNMENT DOES NOT PAY SUFFICIENT ATTENTION TO
AUTOMATIZATION OF STATE AGENCIES
YEREVAN, MARCH 5. ARMINFO. The Armenian authorities do not give
sufficient attention and financing to the maintenance of the
e-government systems of state agencies, says the director of the
Center for Information Technologies Gagik Karapetyan.
Big money is allocated for government automatization projects but the
projects stop as soon as the money ends. "One cannot drive a car
without repairing it - the same is for Armenia's e-systems," says
Karapetyan.
"For example after the completion of the project to automatize the
state register of Armenia we learned that our phone lines were cut -
here in Armenia one can lose an effective system because of
2,000-3,000 AMD," says Karapetyan noting that he is going to raise
this problem at the next meeting of the council for supporting IT
development in Armenia so as it is budgeted later.
