Armenia's people of science are interested in reviving traditional
scientific ties with their colleagues from Russia, both in terms of
concrete research and training specialists, Presidential of Armenia's
National Academy of Sciences Radik Martirosyan said on Tuesday at
a meeting with visiting speaker of the Russian State Duma lower
parliament house Sergei Naryshkin.
"We consider your visit to the Academy as a manifestation of your
keen attention to the development of science and technology," he said.
"In recent years, Russian has being paying significant attention to
the development of science and promotion of innovations," he went on.
"We scrutinized the speech of Russian President Vladimir Putin
at the annual general meeting of the Russian Academy of Sciences,
learned about tremendous growth of state financing of scientific
research. We are glad to hear about these achievements because through
our traditional ties with Russian colleagues they will have a positive
effect on the development of science in Armenia."
Nonetheless, he admitted that in the recent years the level of
scientific contacts between Russia and Armenia "has considerably
lowered." But still, in his words, there are a number of various joint
projects oriented towards contemporary scientific problems. The two
academies have an agreement which targets expansion of science and
research cooperation.
"The most close and fruitful contacts between our scientists were in
the Soviet era," the academician noted. "Many generations of scientists
and researchers were trained at world acclaimed scientific and research
centres in Russia. Along with profound knowledge, each of them received
good education and brilliant skills, learned more about the Russian
culture and kept the feelings of love and gratitude to the teachers,
to Russia and to the Russian people."
