YEREVAN, January 10. /ARKA/. An independent agency or a separate
ministry needs to be established in Armenia for management of the
science field, Chairman of the RA Fund for Science and Advanced
Technologies Harutiun Karapetyan reported.

According to him, the new body is to organize and carry out independent
research, elaborate policy and manage day-to-day operations.

To ensure the independence of the new structure, all the institutions
of the RA Academy of Sciences will be placed under the jurisdiction
of Armenia’s Ministry of Science and Education, Karapetyan said. The
Academy of Sciences will automatically become a specialized
association, like Artists’ Union, Architects’ Union or Writers’
Union, Karapetyan said. Then, the Academy can be of certain use for
Armenia’s scientific field, particularly in establishing ties with
international scientific circles.

“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
