AEPLAC: ARMENIA’S TOMORROW WITH SERIOUS SCIENTIFIC, TECHNICAL
POTENTIAL

YEREVAN, March 16. /ARKA/. Armenia’s tomorrow is with serious
scientific and technical potential, the Head of AEPLAC
(Armenian-European Policy and Legal Advice Center) scientific and
economic group Gagik Gabrielian at the presentation of the book
headed "Scientific and Technological Potential: Modern International
Approaches and Practice."
According to Gabrielian, the scientific and technological development
has already become the important factor of economic and social growth
in the world.
"That is why two factors are particularly important under the
circumstances of growing international competition – scientific and
technological development and innovation. Due to its social-economic
and geopolitical situation Armenia has no alternative but to become
an innovator and a country possessing serious scientific-technical
potential," Gabrielian said. According to him, in that case Armenia
will be able to take up a stable competitive position in the world
economic system.
The concept of scientific reforms is currently in circulation, and it
addresses the topical issues and tasks on harmonizing the country’s
scientific-technological potential with the requirements of the world
economy and international competition, Gabrielian said.
The book headed "Scientific and Technological Potential: Modern
International Approaches and Practice" is the 9th volume in the
"European Integration Library Series". It is prepared by AEPLAC in
collaboration with the National academy of Sciences. The book
contains extracts from three manuals of the Organization of Economic
Cooperation and Development (OECD). N.V. -0–
