President Serzh Sargsyan met with members of the Public Council
to discuss the problems the Council has revealed in the fields of
agriculture and Information Technologies and consider the proposed
solutions. The Mnisters of Agriculture and Economy were present at
the meeting.

President Sargsyan attached importance to the fact that the Public
Council does not only raise issue, but also proposes solutions.

The issue of uncultivated lands was mentioned as a primary problem
in the field of agriculture, which endangers the perspectives of
development of this branch of economy.

Reference was made to the issue of price and quality of Internet
in Armenia, which, according to the members of the Public Council,
does not contribute to the development of Information Technologies
in the country and does not provide for greater Internet access.

President Sargsyan noted that the failure to improve the quality of
Internet and the computerization of the society could keep Armenia
back from global developments and reduce the opportunity go progress
in the country.
