The number of women physicists doing research in Armenia is far less than the number of men, because women put their family and children ahead of their careers. Only a small number of women physicists who try to combine family life and career are successful. Armenia is a small country with few research positions; in spite of this there are several women physicists in Armenia. They are working very well in various areas of physics such as theoretical physics, nuclear physics, elementary particle physics, biophysics, and solid-state physics. Due to hard and fruitful work, some women physicists occupy high positions; for example, A. Danagulyan is the Chair of Nuclear Physics of Yerevan State University. In the three years since the First IUPAP International Conference on Women in Physics, female scientists of Armenia have worked very effectively. Four defended their PhD theses (Candidate) and one defended her Doctorate thesis during this period. Many papers of female scientists were presented at international conferences and printed in refereed journals.
