    HAROUTYUNIAN: ARMENIA SEEKS FOR REGIONAL LEADERSHIP IN SCIENCE

    Armenia

    The funds towards development of the science centers have significantly
    increased, told media at today's press conference Chairman of the
    State Committee on Science, Samvel Haroutyunian.

    Referring to the projects and works implemented due to enlargement of
    fund resources, Haroutyunian said that the committee has a separate
    funding for supporting science-related programs. In particular,
    these programs include science conferences, Armenian presentations
    at the foreign conferences, grants for young scientists, etc.

    Among programs a special focus was paid on the Candle Program, aimed
    at creation of an accelerator of a new generation which can become
    a turning point to many sciences. Samvel Haroutyunian described the
    program as "a bold project as Armenia is located in a complicated
    geo-political region and has economical difficulties; however it
    expressed willingness to realize the project in the near years,
    and will provide 25% of financial support."

    In addition, Armenia is ready to host all those countries which are
    ready to join the program. To this end, a working group has been
    attending a range of countries and is planning negotiations with
    France, Germany, the U.S. and China.

    "The program is not only of a science importance, but of political
    as well, as there are few nations in the world who have both a
    nuclear plant and an accelerator," said chairman Haroutyunian. He
    said that through this program of creation of the accelerator of the
    next generation, Armenia reaffirmed that is seeking for a regional
    leadership in sphere of science.
