    Senior research fellow of the Scientific-Technical Center of Organic
    and Pharmaceutical Chemistry, National Academy of Science of Armenia,
    the founder, the President and the Executive Officer of the National
    Fund of Science and Advanced Technologies, Haroutyun Karapetyan
    has refused from the President's Prize. The scientist became the
    President's Prize winner in the sphere of natural sciences in 2007.

    In his open letter provided to ArmInfo, the scientist says that he
    will return the certificate and the medal, and the money prize he
    received jointly with Aram Petrosyan and Ruben Apreyan for a series
    of scientific articles on the topic "Growth and investigation of new
    class of nonlinear optical crystals".

    The scientist disagrees with the government policy in the sphere of
    science. "The negative elements in the given policy clearly reflect
    the criminal and oligarchic system in the country."

    Karapetyan believes that in the sphere of science "there is prospering
    corruption, protectionism, embezzlement of budget funds and group
    approaches." He thinks, "the authorities promote brain drain from
    the country."
