YEREVAN. – The Ministry of Economy will be one of the Armenian Government’s first departments to make use of solely licensed software packages. The Ministry signed a respective contract with Microsoft Company.    

The parties noted that this agreement could become the next successful step in implementing the contract that was signed between the Government and Microsoft in 2007.

Pursuant to this agreement, the Government of Armenia has assumed an obligation to use Microsoft’s solely licensed programs and to exert efforts toward copyright protection in Armenia.

Welcoming this step taken by the Economy Ministry, Microsoft’s Armenia representation expressed a hope that this process will continue in Armenia’s other governmental departments as well.
