"No country with the economic level of Armenia has this level of
astronomy whereas this branch of science is ignored by the state,"
Biurakan Observatory Director Haik Harutunyan told reporters today.

In his words, our observatory is the biggest in the region. "We have
considerable investment in this branch of science, we have developed
infrasystem, quality specialists but the science is overlooked,"
the director mentioned.

"The state must realize that one million investment today will become
ten millions tomorrow. This is an exceptional opportunity that no
branch of business can bring, whereas we do not use it even in this
light," the director concluded.
