Armenian-language domain .հայ (.hay) may be launched in six months

YEREVAN, November 21. / ARKA /. The Armenian-language domain .հայ (.hay) may be launched in six months, a cyber security expert Samvel Martirosyan writes on his Facebook page. According to him, the zone of the Armenian-language domain was approved and in about six months it will be possible to register Armenian-language domains. He says the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) issued a positive decision on the second phase of the registration of .հայ (.hay) domain on Thursday. ICANN said the domain .հայ (.hay) successfully passed the test meeting the technical and linguistic criteria (String Evaluation). It was earlier reported that the Armenian "Internet Society" NGO turned to ICANN at the beginning of the year requesting the Armenian-language domain registration. The first stage was passed shortly afterwards. The domain name has not yet been delegated; actually the letter combination was reserved. The final decision will be made by the US Department of Commerce through the approval of the registration request, and then the third stage – the so-called "String Delegation" will be fully passed. The Armenian-language domain will operate in parallel with the existing operational domain .am. By the end of 2013 over 21,000 sites were registered at .am domain.-0-
