YEREVAN, AUGUST 8, ARMENPRESS: The fact that in modern world it is not possible to reach the achievement of many things without developing informational technologies is not news for anyone. Despite the idea that some steps have been implemented we can not consider the issue solved. On the theme Armenpress had a talk with Hovik Musayelyan - the director of CJSC “Synopsys Armenia” which is one of the leaders of the field.

- Mr. Musaelyan, “Synopsys” entered Armenia in 2004. Since that time what kind of trend of increase towards informational technologies do you notice in Armenia?

In reality there is always interest towards the sphere both by the Government and Society. As in past, today also Armenian Government considers informational technologies as a priority vector and in order the society is able to estimate fully what kind of role the informational technologies have in our life it must itself become informational. I have to say that during these years there have been rather positive movements and developments which must be stressed. Despite the positive movement there are many problems in the sphere.

- You mentioned that the indicator of the development of informational technologies can be the fact of being the society informational. How much is informational Armenian society?

The informational society is not a separated element. The Government and governance must be electronic. I have to say that in this sense Government is a step forward of economy. In different spheres of economy the IT tool has to be used in order to increase the productivity and efficiency of work.  

- Lately it is intensively spoken about the importance of founding Ministry of Informational technologies. Do you see now the necessity of it?

There is not such issue in agenda today. Two Deputy Ministers of the ministry of economy and one Deputy Minister of the Ministry of transport and Communication are involved in it. We need some time to find ways of cooperation. If some time later it turns out that it is not effective we will speak about the necessity of founding a new model of governance.
