ARKA, Armenia

YEREVAN, July 21. /ARKA/. The first Internet Alphabet computer classes for middle age residents of Amasia village and Alaverdi city as well as for those who are already above 50 have finished, the press office of Rostelecom reported on Thursday.    

Young volunteers delivered classes in Armenian in computer rooms furnished with computers by the telecommunication company. The classes have been organized by Rostelecom and World Vision Armenia.  

The classes were ended in a ceremony of handing certificates, where every trainee expressed opinion. 

There were teachers, engineers, medical workers and library personnel among the attendees. 

Taking into account the large number of people wanting to attend Internet Alphabet computer classes, the organizers have decided to provide them again in Amasia and Alaverdi. 

GNC-ALFA CJSC, Armenian subsidiary of Russia’s Rostelecom, started selling telecommunication services in December 2012 under Rostelecom brand. In late 2012, it offered super-speed Internet as well as IP television and telephony services to clients.  

The company’s fiber optic network covers 80% of Armenia’s territory stretching 2,500 kilometers across the country. 

The company has built a backbone fiber optic cable from Iran, as well as two outputs through Georgia. –0—-

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
