Director of the National Archive of Armenia Amatuni Virabyan said that only 0.5% of the archive documents is digitized.

The National Archive needs relevant modern equipment to digitize paper-based documents more quickly, Virabyan told journalists.

“We were promised that such equipment will be purchased soon,” he said.
