Today, Chairman of the Union of Information Technology Enterprises, Karen Vardanyan, in an interview with Aravot.am said that the Armenian specialists are actively working on the creation of drones and other military equipment, “They have established an institution where hundreds of engineers are united on a voluntary basis. Now, this institution has several sections, for instances, detection of aircraft, control systems, etc. The engineers are working on then and the discussions are underway. When we feel they everything is ready, we will apply to the Ministry to get an order for making its prototypes and test. We are always cooperating, now it is directed to protecting the country,” said Mr. Vardanyan.
Still one year ago, during the NA hearings, Karen Vardanyan speaking about the “army bluff and bubble” said that the Defense Ministry for some reason ignores a number of proposals presented by them regarding the modernization of the army. Seyran Ohanyan responded that they had not received practical proposals, therefore, they were ignored. As mentioned by Karen Vardanyan, “If they want to justify themselves for making our army look good, let them be justified. I have said everything, let the government entities come and tell me, why are you lying?” According to Karen Vardanyan, their proposals are going to be cheaper than the ones bought from outside, “It is cheaper, of course, if no specialists are not invited from other countries, they are next to you who also have patriotic motives and the knowledge remains in the country and accumulates, naturally, all this leads to the fact that it becomes cheaper than in the case when you would buy from others.”
