YEREVAN. – It is ridiculous to expect that the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) of Armenia has the means necessary for the development of solar energy, NAS President Radik Martirosyan told Armenian News-NEWS.am.
A small collector of solar thermal heaters functions at the A.I. Alikhanyan National Science Laboratory (Yerevan Physics Institute).
To the query on whether it is possible to promote the working project from the NAS budget, Martirosyan smiled and asked rhetorically: “What are you talking about? Is there a budget there?”
