Visiting co-founder of Apple Computer Inc Steve Wozniak has said
he will tell Americans about the intellect of Armenians upon his
return home.
Speaking to reporters on Friday, he said that deprived of many things
Armenia, however, has declared the sector of internet technologies
as a priority and is sparing no efforts to reach that goal.
"Looking at Armenians I consider myself as one of you," said Wozniak.
"Once I return home, I will tell them about the Armenian intellect."
"It's hard to say that 'we are Armenia and we are declaring IT sector
as a priority'. But Armenia has aspirations," said he.
Steve Wozniak is in Armenia to pick President Serzh Sargsyan's award
for his contribution in IT sector worldwide. Wozniak is the second
person to be awarded by an Armenian president. The first award went
to former President of Intel Corporation Craig Barrett.
Further, Wozniak said it was symbolic for him that such an award has
been set up by Armenia.
"There is no Nobel Prize in computing. It is symbolic for me that such
an award has been set up by the Republic of Armenia. Why? Perhaps,
because here there are those youth who can create," explained Wozniak.
"And the fact that it is the country's president who awards the prize
underlines its importance," said Steve Wozniak.
