International grants provide half of the financial resources for scientific development. Yesterday during the annual scientific conference opening this announcement was made by the pro-rector of the Yerevan State Architectural University of Armenia Harutyun Terzyan. According to him, the fact that grant programs provided about 93 million dram as financial support in 2005, says a lot about the interest of international community towards Armenian science. H. Terzyan also noted that if about 90 % of economical development in developed countries is supported by science, this mark doesn’t exceed 1-2 % in Armenia.
