On May 25, the third annual international Mini Whoop Drone Racing 2025 competition took place at the Gazprom Armenia Educational and Sports Complex in Yerevan, organized by the ArmDrone Community NGO with the support of Ucom.
A total of 330 million drams were spent on the fountains` reconstruction, technological enhancement and technical upgrade, as well as carrying out necessary works in the area. The project took 7 months to complete. The entire funding was fully provided by Mikael and Karen Vardanyan.
“AI is now an essential tool for everyone to organize daily work and life more efficiently, and cybersecurity has long been an integral part of our lives. At Ucom, we believe that discussions around these modern technologies should be accessible to everyone in Armenia. I am very pleased to share my experience and discuss cybersecurity issues at Silicon Mountains in Lori. I hope our testimonies will inspire many and lay the groundwork for new, beneficial collaborations and projects,” noted Ralph Yirikian, General Director of Ucom.
Reforestation efforts like this help address several serious environmental challenges: they protect endangered tree species, reduce human-wildlife conflict, create new feeding and breeding grounds for mammals and birds, mitigate climate change, and help prevent desertification and so on.
“Sometimes, to achieve great things, all we need is a little help. Recognizing this, Ucom strives to support the work of organizations driving technological development in Armenia. Only through united efforts can we bring about significant changes in our country and secure a better future for new generations,” said Ralph Yirikian, General Director of Ucom.
“Our main goal in supporting events like this is to make discussions about technology more effective and beneficial for our country. At Ucom, we share the mindset that our collective future is tied to technology. I am confident that the role of mass media in this can be significant if there is mutual understanding and agreement around a common goal between the technological and journalistic communities,” noted Ralph Yirikian, General Director of Ucom.
Through exploiting Artsakh’s commercial, institutional, and natural resources, and assets, vis a vis these new campaigns, Azerbaijan continues to misappropriate Armenian (and world cultural heritage sites), artifacts, and tangible, as well as intangible cultural treasures and traditions. The erasure of an entire people is now being whitewashed, commodified, and rebranded under the guise of tourism, academia, and business ventures.
