In the words of Fadey Sargsian, it is too important when work of
scientists is appreciated. According to him, at present, scientific
works, unfortunately, remain on papers, whereas in the soviet years
the researches of scientists contributed to the development of the
industry and agriculture of the country. However, Fadey Sargsian is
sure that the researches of scientists, scientific materials will
very soon serve their purpose and the activities of the RA National
Academy of Sciences will make progress year after year.
