YEREVAN, January 10. /ARKA/. An independent agency or a separate
ministry needs to be established in Armenia for management of the
science field, Chairman of the RA Fund for Science and Advanced
Technologies Harutiun Karapetyan reported.
According to him, the new body is to organize and carry out independent
research, elaborate policy and manage day-to-day operations.
To ensure the independence of the new structure, all the institutions
of the RA Academy of Sciences will be placed under the jurisdiction
of Armenia’s Ministry of Science and Education, Karapetyan said. The
Academy of Sciences will automatically become a specialized
association, like Artists’ Union, Architects’ Union or Writers’
Union, Karapetyan said. Then, the Academy can be of certain use for
Armenia’s scientific field, particularly in establishing ties with
international scientific circles.
