YEREVAN. – The issue of establishing an innovation ministry needs to be discussed with the partners, because there are arguments for and against it, Armenia’s PM Tigran Sargsyan told news reporters during a briefing on Friday.  

“We must think about optimizing the ministries and not opening many new ministries, so the functions do not repeat,” stated Sargsyan. 

The Premier informed that the proposal by the partners in the Information Technology (IT) sector will be examined on the basis of what type of effective system of governance must be in Armenia ten years later.  

As per Tigran Sargsyan, there is an ongoing productive dialogue with IT representatives, and the Prime Ministerial Information Technology Development Support Center is established.
