Present stage of social development is characterized by unprecedented
progress of informational field. Today informational system influences
the security of national, political, ideological, psychological and
other fields.

Level of informational content is most important index of
competitiveness of the nation. And time will only increase the role
of this aspect.

However, informational system should be based on national
ideology. This ideology should include ethic, religious, and
civilization characteristics of the nation. In these terms the national
can be creative.

Talking about informational system of Armenia we should take into
account the Diaspora. However today the Diaspora is not so homogenous
as before which creates certain issues. And yet its vast geography
creates flexible facilities for informational policy.

At the same time, despite the importance of this issue, there is still
no certain policy on it in Armenia. It is because our country so far
does not have a concept of informational security. In addition, even
the concept of national security has not been adopted in our country,
a part of which should be the informational security.

The above-mentioned indicates that the research of informational
security in frames of national security is an urgent issues in Armenia.
