Republic of Armenia Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan attended the special sitting of “Security of Information in Armenia: current status and challenges” symposium in Yerevan.
Addressing those present, the Prime Minister noted that the government of Armenia prioritizes the expansion of information technologies which calls for serious action aimed at building an IT-friendly environment, inclusive of infrastructure development. “First of all, infrastructure deficiencies affect the velocity at which information is conveyed, and we have developed a number of investment programs to that effect.” Access to the GEANT2 network and introduction of CSIRT system will open up exceptional opportunities before Armenian scientists. Stressing the importance of the symposium, Tigran Sargsyan expressed hope that new ideas will be put forward during the forum and bridges will be erected between Armenian and foreign researchers. The educational and training-related problems were given a special emphasis in the Prime Minister’s speech.
In conclusion, Tigran Sargsyan wished the forum successful activities.
