YEREVAN, MAY 22, NOYAN TAPAN. The Armenian government is developing
"School Connection" and "Computer to Each" detailed programs, which are
being turned into business programs with the assistance of Armenian
branches of Microsoft and Intel, the RA minister of economy Nerses
Yeritsian said on May 21 when presenting, at the invitation of the
Club of Economic Journalists, the economic provisions of the 2008-2012
program of the Armenian government.
According to him, it is planned to determine the share of financial
participation of the state and foreign businessmen-benefactors,
in particular, Diasporan ones, in the above mentioned two programs.
In the minister's words, these programs also have a business
context. "If people have computers connected to the Internet, they
can manage their pension accounts via the Internet, while banks and
postal organization can provide their services and trade companies
can sell goods to them," N. Yeritsian said.
He added that the program on formation of an information society in
Armenia, which will be worked out in 2008, will become a stimulus
for the implementation of the indicated programs.
The current practice in Armenia is that businessmen and representatives
of various companies incur expenses by applying to state government
bodies in person and receiving services from there. In countries
with a developed information society, the automation of such
services'provision was done by the model called "2 dollars for each
transaction". "I think our businessmen will pay with pleasure 2
dollars for a transaction," in order to solve their problems with
the state without going to a state government body.
