ArmInfo. The situation in Armenian-Azerbaijani cooperation in
science remains desperate, Head of the Armenian branch office of the
International Science & Technology Center (ISTC) Hamlet Navasardyan
told ArmInfo correspondent.
"They establish contacts at no level. For instance, the ISTC and
the Science & Technology Center in Ukraine (STCU) organized a
conference on commercialization of scientific results in Baku in
October 2007. All our efforts to involve Armenian scientists in the
work of the conference gave no results. In this issue we came across
Azerbaijan's severe resistance", Navasardyan said. At the same time,
he pointed out with content that at the end of 2007 the first joint
project of ISTC and STCU, which includes Ukraine, Azerbaijan, Moldova
and Uzbekistan, was approved in 2007. This was the project of the
Institute of Physical Research of Ashtarak (Armenia). The head of
the ISTC office in Yerevan emphasized that the implementation of this
project will vividly show how two structures can cooperate, as in this
case financing will be through the ISTC and STCU, and all financial and
organizational issues will be coordinated by both organizations. "If
the cooperation is successful, one may also hope for implementation
of other joint projects in the future", Navasardyan said.
