Internet domain names could be made available in the Armenian alphabet
According to Saghian, Armenia has applied to ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) – the non-profit organisation that governs the Internet’s domain name system — for the possibility of registering domain names in the Mesrobian alphabet.
“According to procedure, we should receive an answer within one year after applying,” Saghian said, noting that Armenia applied at the beginning of 2014. “Having domain names in the Armenian alphabet is inevitable, and, to some extent, necessary,” added Saghian.
ICANN has been a focus of discussion in the news recently after announcing a host of proposed changes to the domain name system, including the introduction of a plethora of new suffixes like .wine and .London, some of which have produced controversy.
