In Karabakh we often hear "reports" on the development of information
technology. However, very little is done about it. For instance, if
we search Google for Karabakh, the first ten results are Azerbaijani
sites. It would not be bad to see the site of the NKR parliament
on this list. Unfortunately, there is no such a site on the web,
although it has been said necessary for ten years now.
In the 21 century when every confectioner has its web site, the
National Assembly is still thinking or not thinking. Many may say it
is expensive.
Not, of course, because the money spent on the dome of the parliament
building would be enough to develop three web sites, while the dome
does not even protect from rain. Meanwhile, if someone wants to learn
about the structure of the NKR National Assembly or the laws it has
passed, they will have to call on the speaker of parliament.
In August the 15th anniversary of the Internet was celebrated, but
Karabakh remains indifferent to it. Many do not even know they can
easily send a photo to their relative abroad. If a benefactor gave
ten computers to a secondary school in Martakert, it does not mean
IT is developing in Karabakh. Computers often lie in classrooms like
museum exhibits.
Lack of learning technology is felt in Karabakh. There is no school
where one can learn modern IT management. In computer classes all
students learn is to switch on and off the computer and open the
mailbox. Meanwhile, our children know how to do these things without
attending any classes.
