ArmInfo. On August 4, RA Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan introduced newly appointed minister David Tadevosyan to the staff of the Ministry of High-Tech Industry.
According to the government press service, the prime minister thanked Mkhitar Hayrapetyan for his work as Minister of High-Tech Industry and noted that the technology sector in Armenia has been developing for a long time. "But I must also say that the events of the last year are particularly significant for Armenia, because we now have the opportunity to work more fully with the latest technologies and artificial intelligence. Of course, a great deal of work has been done, and Armenia now has an infrastructure that seemed difficult to implement just a few years ago," the prime minister said. The head of state mentioned the Yerevan State University supercomputer center, the ELEVATE AI artificial intelligence factory, and the Firebird artificial intelligence factory, which the company will launch in the coming days.
According to Nikol Pashinyan, keeping pace with technology is one of the government's most important tasks. "But in this regard, we must also be attentive and aware of the global debate surrounding technology, guided by the logic that we must do everything possible to ensure that the introduction of technology does not reduce people's opportunities to work and earn money, but, on the contrary, makes it as easy and effective as possible," the prime minister said, adding that the executive branch has a rather busy technology agenda.
"Here, of course, there are very serious and long-term issues that require management, planning, and decision-making, but this is the upcoming work agenda, which we will consider in the context of the discussion and adoption of the draft government program," Nikol Pashinyan said. Mkhitar Hayrapetyan thanked the Prime Minister for the trust placed in him to serve as Minister of High-Tech Industry and added that he views this as a unique opportunity to serve the state. The former minister expressed confidence that Davit Tadevosyan will succeed in the post, given his knowledge and experience, and expressed his support for this endeavor.
In turn, newly appointed Minister Davit Tadevosyan thanked the Prime Minister for the trust placed in him and the opportunity provided. "I assume this position fully aware that everything has a beginning and an end. I will strive to make every effort to hand over this position to the next minister with pride and a sense of accomplishment," the minister said. It should be noted that prior to his appointment as Minister, Davit Tadevosyan headed International Radio Network CJSC, a state-owned company under the Ministry of High- Tech Industry. The company provides radio broadcasting and communications services, as well as operates the state telecommunications infrastructure.
