    Astrophysics to open in Armenia


    YEREVAN, JULY 30, ARMENPRESS: The preparatory works for the opening of
    the Armenian center for relativistic astrophysics are in process. It
    will have two branches in Yerevan - at the National Academy of
    Sciences - and at the Byurakan Observatory.

    In the conversation with Armenpress the director of Byurakan
    Observatory Hayk Harutyunyan said that in the near future negotiations
    will be held with a number of institutions relating to the activity of
    the center as well as certain agreements will be signed. An initial
    arrangement with the participation of the deputy minister has already
    been acquired with the Armenian Foreign Ministry. The other
    consultations will launch in September.

    The candidate territories for the branches of the center are in
    Yerevan and Byurakan but their final selection will be agreed with
    corresponding opportunities and conditions. Time will be needed for
    certain necessary renovations. The discussions on acquiring necessary
    devices will start in the next phase after the negotiations are
    accomplished. Harutyunyan said by the end of the year the official
    part of discussion of issues will be summed up.

    Referring to the staff, Harutyunyan said that there are high-quality
    specialists in the sphere of relativistic astrophysics in Armenia. He
    added that the center will be big branch in the region and scientists
    from Middle East, Iran, Turkey, China, Arab countries will arrive here
    to hear lectures, to carry out long-term and short-term activity in
    this field.

    July 2 2010 at the Armenian National Academy of Sciences during the
    visit of the Italian delegation of the International Center for
    Relativistic Astrophysics the official part was summed up. The
    delegation headed by the director of the center, professor Remo
    Raffini conducted negotiations with the RA NAS on establishing
    regional branch of the International Center for Relativistic
    Astrophysics.

    The director of the observatory said that there have always been close
    ties with the Italian scientists both in this and other spheres and
    they will particularly consolidate after the opening of the center.

    Relativistic Astrophysics is comparatively new, important directions
    of astrology and is in the phase of development in the whole world. It
    demands new approaches, preparation of staff, discussions, conferences
    and studies.
