    YEREVAN, October 31. /ARKA/. Over the last five years, six Armenian
    research institutes have utilized 64 grants totaling $5mln, President
    of the Armenian National Academy of Sciences (ANAS) Radik Martirosyan
    stated in his report "Scientific reforms at ANAS".

    "During this period, Armenia's scientists, despite serious
    difficulties, published many scientific papers in various fields,
    which were internationally recognized and increased foreign investors'
    interests in scientific work in our country," Martirosyan said.

    According to him, over the last five years the ANAS Institute of
    Physical Studies has published two monographs and 135 articles in
    the leading scientific journals, as well as received 34 international
    grants totaling $2.1mln.

    "The research workers of the Institute of Radiophysics and Electronics
    published three monographs, 110 articles and received five grants
    totaling $640,000. Under contracts they carried out $2.5mln worth
    work," he said.

    Martirosyan stressed that extra-budgetary funding of the institute
    exceeded the budgetary financing almost three times during the period.

    The funds were mostly directed to the purchase of equipment and
    modernization of the institute's technical base, as well as to the
    increase of research workers' salaries he said.

    The ANAS President also reported that the researcher workers of the
    ANAS Institutes of Molecular Biology, Biochemistry, Mathematics and
    Geology have published five monographs and 467 articles in foreign
    scientific journals. They also received $2.4mln grants. -0--
