82nd spot in Networked Readiness Index is shame for Armenia

April 13, 2013 | 15:39

YEREVAN.- Armenia has improved its position in the Networked Readiness
Index (NRI) 2013 reaching the 82nd spot out of 144 countries as
compared with last year’s 96th place.

However, executive director of the Union of Information Technology
Enterprises Karen Vardanyan believes it is an awful result.

`Armenia has registered development dynamics, but the 82nd spot is a
shame,’ he told reporters on Saturday.

The reason for low indicators is that government, businessmen and
common citizens are not using IT tools much which is explained by the
lack of competitive environment.

“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
