Two weeks agro we agreed with Ocridge national laboratory about our intention to synthesize the 6th element (117th element in periodic table), to be named Armenia.” “For this purpose, Ocridge National Laboratory will produce a synthetic element named Berkley. This special element is unique and has a life span of 320 days only. To produce high energy particle beams, necessary equipment and particle accelerator will be prepared in Dubna.” According to Yuri Hovhannesyan, chemical experiments will launch in the beginning of July. “I’ll be in Yerevan on July 22. So lets wait and see.”
