Armenia’s Ministry of Defense today announced that it would be creating a cyber-security center called Hye Tek tasked with raising the level of security of the country’s defense system.

The ministry also announced that it is forming a special committee including representatives of IT companies (Synopsis, Unicomp, T&S Dynamics, and others) that will test the theoretical and practical computer programming skills of new army recruits for placement in special assignments.
