Economy Minister Tigran Davtian rejected on Wednesday calls for the establishment of a new government ministry that would specifically deal with information technology (IT), a major export-oriented sector of the Armenian economy.
The chief executives of about 200 IT firms operating in Armenia advocated the idea in a recent joint appeal to President Serzh Sarkisian and the National Assembly. They said the sector's further development requires a more coordinated and targeted government assistance.
"I am not only against the idea but also think that it is absolutely artificial," Davtian told RFE/RL's Armenian service (Azatutyun.am). "There are no grounds for raising such an issue. The existing system of state governance is absolutely adequate and sufficient for solving all issues related to the development of the IT sector."
