    Tchuruk, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Alcatel
    company. The main subject of discussion was Alcatel's activity in
    Armenia. Positively evaluating company's growing involvement in RA
    economy, the parties held the same opinion that one of the well-known

    is a country having powerful economic resources and conducting active
    policy in the sphere of innovations and can have an essential role
    in development of Armenian economy.

    of new joint programs in the spheres of information technologies,
    bank and service, healthcare and pharmacy, energy.
