YEREVAN, MARCH 25, ARMENPRESS. There’ll be a need for at least 20,000 new specialists in the next 5 years in Armenia’s high-tech sector, the Minister of High Tech Industry Hakob Arshakyan said.

According to official data, the high-tech industry grew 30% in 2018 and 2019. Moreover, in crisis conditions of 2020 the sector grew more than 20%.

Speaking about his forecast, Arshakyan said: “The projection is based on the assumption that the sector’s growth in the next years will be at least 20%, while the growth of jobs will be 15% (the potential growth of salaries is taken into account). By looking at these numbers, I’d like to once again encourage and urge our citizens to choose especially natural sciences as a field of study in their education, and the specialists – to get additional knowledge in the tech sector by participating in the High Tech Industry Ministry’s programs and other educational and training programs.”

Emil Lazarian: “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
