It is already 60 years from the day of founding of the National Academy of Sciences of Armenia. During these sixty years, the Academy has provided Armenian scientists with ample opportunities for fostering of the centuries-old spiritual heritage of our people, laid down the paths of understanding both Galaxies and micro-worlds, creating world-acknowledged scientific schools and enriching different fields of world science with widely-noted scientific results. Many of those results were first printed in the "Reports of the National Academy of Sciences of Armenia". During these years more than 5000 scientific articles in Armenian, Russian and English have been published in the "Reports of the National Academy of Sciences of Armenia". We are glad that our "Reports" attract the attention of the world's scientists - we are aware of numerous references to our publications.
    The editorial staff of the "Reports of the National Academy of Sciences of Armenia" congratulates all the members, staff and employees of the National Academy of Sciences, our authors and readers with the glorious 60^th anniversary of the foundation of the National Academy of Sciences of Armenia.
