Naira Badalyan. At this stage, 1.5 million users installed the Zangi
application and their number continues to grow. The director of the
company Vahram Martirosyan said to the Prime Minister of Armenia Karen
Karapetyan. August 4, Prime Minister visited the office of the leading
IT company - Zangi, got acquainted with the company's activities, as
well as with development programs.

Vahram Martirosyan informed the head of the government that through
the proposed communication system of the new generation of Zangi,
users can use free voice and video calls (live video calls with a
resolution of 720p), exchange messages, files and other information.
The application, created by Armenian IT specialists, allows to
establish a connection at a low speed Internet connection. In
addition, Antiblocking technology, developed on the basis of
artificial intelligence, provides users with communication in
countries with restrictions on messengers.

Since 2016, as Martirosyan noted, the company has moved to a new stage
of development. In particular, it has acquired 20+
Business-To-Business (B2B) partners from 12 countries of the world.
Today the company participates in the creation of infrastructures on a
national scale. In 2017 the company took part in the exhibition Mobile
World Congress. Now it is preparing to participate in the largest
telecommunications exhibitions in the world in London - Capacity
Europe and Dubai - GITEX.

Prime Minister Karapetyan noted the importance of developing the IT
sphere. He stressed that the consistent development of the sphere will
be at the center of the attention of the government of the republic.
According to him, the executive body is ready to discuss proposals and
programs aimed at the growth of the IT sphere with a view to their
implementation.

The application Zangi (Armenian analogue Skype, Viber, WhatsApp) was
launched in 2012, but work on it was conducted since 2009. Today,
Zangi allows you to make calls, send and receive messages, make video
calls from all smartphones and tablets running on iOS and Android
operating systems.

Earlier, Karen Karapetyan repeatedly stressed the importance of the
consistent development of technological education in our country,
stressing that the sphere of IT can become the driving force of
economic progress. According to the estimates of the Ministry of
Economic Development and Investments, the IT sector of the economy in
the end of 2016 provided about 6% of Armenia's GDP. At the same time,
as the Executive Director of the Union of IT Enterprises (UITE) of
Armenia Karen Vardanyan stated in an interview with ArmInfo
correspondent, the IT sphere of the Republic can annually provide
45-50% growth. He noted that in recent years, on average, the IT
sector of Armenia provides 20-25% of annual growth, with a turnover of
$ 500 million.
