YEREVAN, January 10. /ARKA/. The Board of Armenia’s National Academy
of Sciences (ANAS) has not boycotted the discussion of the scientific
reform concept, President of ANAS Radik Martirossian reported.
In particular, the Academy did not boycott the conference on the
scientific reform concept held in Tsakhkadzor recently, Martirossian
said. He pointed out that four scientists of the Academy take part in
the interagency commission to carry out the presidential instruction
on scientific reforms.
According to Martirossian, all the statements claiming the Academy
has its entire resources expired and is a "soviet" structure sin
against the truth, because the Academy is a successfully developing
institution.
"We agree the Academy needs reforms, and the process has intensely
developed: we finished the staff optimization; we carry out the
modernization of substructures and actively cooperate with the leading
scientific institutions, particularly with the Russian Academy of
Sciences", Martirossian said.
Earlier, the Chairman of the RA Fund for Science and Advanced
Technologies stated that the RA Academy of Sciences does not put
forth any efforts, hinders the course of the scientific reforms
and impedes the implementation of the respective presidential
instruction.
