YEREVAN, DECEMBER 18, NOYAN TAPAN. A workshop-discussion on problems of
ensuring the viability of Armenia's national telecommunication network
and information security was conducted at the Armenian Center for
National and International Studies (ACNIS) on December 17. During the
event, Ph.D. Karen Matevosian underlined the importance of viability
of information and computer networks under the conditions of impacts
from outside.
When speaking about his methods of the problem's solution, he said that
the use of these methods in the country will contribute to reliability
of the national networks, information security and viability. According
to him, this problem of great importance to Armenia cannot be dealt
with by market mechanisms only: a positive result can be received
in 3-4 years if the state efficiently performs the functions of the
sector's coordination and the regulation of cooperation and links
among the participants.
ACNIS Administrative Director, Ph.D. Karapet Kalenchenko reminded
that as long ago as the 1970s, in the Soviet time, Armenia was the
first country to develop, build and introduce an intercity telegraph
automatic relay center in Yerevan by using ES-1030 and ES-1045
computers produced at the Yerevan Research Institute of Mathematical
Machines. "The author of those relay centers was Karen Matevosian
who together with a small team managed to introduce them and provide
coverage for almost the whole territory of the Soviet Union. Now
Matevosian is proposing a new idea related to safe operation of
Armenia's information network," K. Kalenchenko said.
