344 remote Armenian villages to have free internet access

YEREVAN, JUNE 29, ARMENPRESS. Free internet access will be provided to remote villages of Armenia, which have population less than 1000 and are located on mountainous or bordering terrain.

This initiative is implemented through the memorandum of understanding between Ucom, Ministry of Economy, Ministry of Territorial Administration and Development and the Enterprise Incubator Foundation.

On June 29 the memorandum was signed by Economy Minister A. Minasyan, First Deputy Minister of Territorial Administration and Development Vache Terteryan, EIF director Bagrat Yengibaryan and Ucom director Hayk Yesayan.

According to Economy Minister A. Minasyan, this format of state-private sector cooperation can boost the implementations of similar projects.

EIF director B. Yengibaryan said: “We hope the number of villages included in the program will increase, which will boost the development of technologies and e-society”.
