/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Chairman of National Competitiveness Fund Board
of Trustees, RA Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan addressed the 13th
session of the Board to briefed on the outcomes of RA government’s
anti-crisis efforts for 2009, those programs envisaged under FY 2010
State budget exercise, as well as on the impressions of the Arm Tech
2009 business forum, the government’s information center reported.
"The concept of competition has been changed in the modern
world. The rules adopted by industrial societies can no longer work
in post-industrial competitive societies. Modern technologies can
solve many tasks, including social problems. By penetrating into
the sphere of social relationship, modern technologies are changing
systems of values in societies. This phenomenon should be the subject
of serious debates among us," he said. "Which is the right formula for
ensuring a spasmodic development in Armenia and rallying pan-Armenian
organizations round it?" This is what the Prime Minister proposed
to discuss at the meeting. Tigran Sargsyan evoked an idea voiced
during the proceedings of the Arm Tech – 2009 congress, which reads
as follows: "Today is the past, and the future is tomorrow." "This
makes us work faster and harder as the concept of the Armenian world
needs some refreshing."
The meeting went on to discuss the agenda focusing on domestic and
worldwide economic development-related issues.
Irish National University professors Bob Kitchin and Mark Boyle, as
well as Munich-based sport and tourism experts Peter Gothwald and
Franck Daniel Ehrsam outlined such strategies which might be used
in cooperating with the Diaspora, as well as the possibilities for
turning into a new tourism product those sports events that can be
practiced in the highlands of Sevan region.
Other agenda items were the planning of design work for the
pan-Armenian network and the reporting on Pan-Armenian Bank’s program,
as well as an array of issues of current interest to the Fund.
