    YEREVAN, OCTOBER 1, NOYAN TAPAN. Armenia strives to become a
    leader in IT markets and to have an advanced information society
    and a knowledge-based economy, Director of the Enterprise Incubator
    Foundation Bagrat Yengiarian said at the October 1 press conference,
    adding that Armenia is in the front line in the IT sector, but it
    ranks low in the world in terms of the society's awareness. "We must
    try to be among the best in all respects," B. Yengibarian stated.

    According to him, the Concept of the Development of Information
    Technology Sector approved by the Armenian government envisages
    such measures as the creation of an infrastructure of information
    and communication technologies in line with the best international
    standards, an increase in the number of IT companies, a 3-4fold growth
    of jobs, and a twofold growth in productivity by 2018. "These are the
    goals, thanks to which the Armenian economy will undergo considerable
    development," he pointed out.

    Speaking about this year's indices in the IT industry, B. Yengibarian
    said there was a growth under conditions of the global economic crisis,
    but the exact figures will be released by January 2010. According to
    him, more than 120 companies currently operate in Armenia's IT sector,
    thanks to which an annual growth of 30% is recorded.
