About Armenia
Situated in the highlands surrounding the Biblical mountains of Ararat, Armenian is one of the most ancient countries in the world. With a population of 3.2 million, Armenia is emerging as a popular tourist destination and is one of the leading information technology nations among the neighbouring CIS and Middle East countries.
Armenian Information Technologies, Science and Electronics
Armenia is one of the leading information technology nations among the neighbouring CIS and Middle East countries. The growth of the present-day IT industry can be traced back to the Soviet era, during which time Armenia was a key science, R&D, and high-tech manufacturing centre of the former USSR.
Today, the strongest and most promising industries in Armenian are the IT, Pharmaceuticals and Chemicals, Engineering and Electronics industries.
