    OUTFLOW OF YOUNG SCIENTISTS PAINFUL ISSUE, SAYS SCS CHAIRMAN

    Aysor
    Sept 8 2010
    Armenia

    "The outflow of young scientists from Armenia is a sensitive issue
    not only to Armenia but to all post-soviet nations," told media at
    today's news-conference Chairman of the State Committee on Science,
    Samvel Haroutyunian.

    He said that Armenia has initiated and has been initiating a range
    of programs to solve the issue. And here comes a question "whether
    these programs are enough to solve the issue," said chairman.

    "Surely, no," he said and added that in order to bring the balance
    between outflow and those who return back huge funds are necessary.

    "Meanwhile, the funds directed to the science aren't often enough
    for completing the works and many of our scientists have to leave
    the country to satisfy their ambitions."

    On the other hand, Haroutyunian said that he is sure that is not
    correct to take steps which will block young scientists from traveling
    to other countries. "The science is an open system and if we want to
    develop, the young adults must go away and return, and the issue is
    just that the scientists to come back," he said.

    "This is quite a complicated issue and its solution definitely depends
    on the budget and the reforms in sphere of education. If our education
    and science are in demand then the state requests will come from
    demands of certain economical sphere, and the problem will be solved.

    But in Armenia the university degree (diploma) is more appreciated
    than knowledge," stressed Haroutyunian.
