Internet domain names could be made available in the Armenian alphabet
YEREVAN (Armenpress)--Internet URL's may appear written in the
Armenian alphabet starting next year, as the governing body of
Internet domain names continues to announce major changes to the
system, Deputy Director of the Internet Society of Armenia Grigori
Saghian told reporters.
According to Saghian, Armenia has applied to ICANN (Internet
Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) - the non-profit
organization that governs the Internet's domain name system -- for
the possibility of registering domain names in the Mesrobian alphabet.
"According to procedure, we should receive an answer within one year
after applying," Saghian said, noting that Armenia applied at the
beginning of 2014. "Having domain names in the Armenian alphabet is
inevitable, and, to some extent, necessary," added Saghian.
ICANN has been a focus of discussion in the news recently after
announcing a host of proposed changes to the domain name system,
including the introduction of a plethora of new suffixes like .wine
and .London, some of which have produced controversy.
