information technology sphere is stipulated by the choice of such a
form of country’s promotion where the existent facts are considered,
among such facts being the comparably high level of scientific and
educational potential of the population, traditional efficiency of
creative and applied activities, as well as restrictions of territorial
and natural resources and transport ways. According to the Minister
of Economic Development B. Babayan, at present the NKR yields the RA
in the indices of the information technology sphere. Inhabitants’
procurement of computer aids forms 10% and the accessibility of
the Internet makes up 8% in Artsakh. Prime Minister A.Haroutyunyan
touched upon the main problem of today which consists in securing
qualitative connection on the whole territory of the NKR through the
only functioning operator within short time limits and to make it
accessible for the population.
The Executive adopted decrees concerning the social sphere.
Particularly, the order of teaching the system of "Arev" to the people
with eyesight problems and that of rendering computer facilities
to them was affirmed. Invalids of the 1st group of this section
and children suffering loss of eyesight will make use of this. By
another decree the order of providing financial support to the

rendered. Each month the doctor sent on an assignment to another place
will be paid financial aid amounting the 30-50 percent of his salary
calculated for that month, higher financial assistance is defined
by the decree of the NKR Prime Minister. Other means of support are
anticipated as well. Emphasizing the urgency of the problem the head
of the Government noted that at present many villages are deprived
of doctor specialists and new purposeful steps are to be taken to
provide the residential areas of the Republic not only with medical
staff but with other deficient specialists.
"Doctors and other specialists sent to villages and working there
must be distinguished from other employees with their earnings and
living conditions",- A.Haroutyunyan underlined.

NKR state militarized organizations, fining for infringing traffic
regulations at spot.
By the decree of the Government a number of cultural centres being
under the competence of communities were taken out and placed under
the authority of the regional administrations. This administrative
change was justified by the circumstance that these units being in
the status of by now functioning cultural institutions do not fully
implement their programmes, no proper control and support is displayed.
The Executive affirmed the lists of diseases and physical defects
hindering the appointment of state employees of judicial and
prosecutor’s systems in posts, approved the distinguishing badge of

regional administration will be founded. And for implementation of
programmes of the Tourism Department adjunct to the Government a
company "Scientific Restorative Studio" will function, which will be
occupied with restoration works of Artsakh monuments. The necessity
of such structure is considered an issue of the day by the responsible
officials of the sphere. By one another Executive’s resolution a SNCO
"Reserve of Tigranakert" will be founded, which will be engaged in
protecting and popularization of historical and cultural values.

On concluding the agenda issues, the Prime Minister A.Haroutyunyan

the Republic, and discussed the proceeding of spring sowing and
field pests combating. The Head of the Government noted that though
several measures were undertaken the results of pests’ combating
are unsatisfactory.

heads of regional administrations with concrete tasks and strongly
recommended to prepare for the forthcoming harvesting in the best way.
