`I would not get involved in politics, if the `IEEE EWDTS 2007 `
East-West Project and Test Symposium’ was held in Armenia 10 years ago,
Speaker of RA National Assembly Tigran Torosyan said yesterday,
speaking at opening of the 5th IEEE EWDTS 2007 ` East-West Project and
Test Symposium,’ which marked the kick off of the IT Month in the
republic.

He expressed confidence that the symposium will have a productive
outcome and will result in fruitful cooperation. At the same time
Tigran Torosyan mentioned that declaration of the IT sphere as a
priority direction was a correct decision, since it is one of the most
important fields for the country’s further development.

For his turn, the President of the Symposium, Deputy Director of the
`Virage Logic,’ Dr. Yervand Zoryan reminded that ever since Soviet
times Armenia has been a regional centre of microelectronics. `The
conduct of the above-mentioned symposium in Armenia proves that today
Armenia remains one of the leading centers,’ he underlined.

The symposium has a five-year history. In the past it was held in Yalta
twice, Odessa and Sochi.
