The rumors circulated recently according to which earthquake awaits
Armenia, don't coincide with the reality.
This panic, according to the Chief of the National Service of Seismic
Protection Alvaro Antonyan, was spread after the speech delivered
by the specialist of the National Academy of Sciences, who said that
according to the data of their radiometers, the volume of radon gas
exceeded the norm on the earth's crust, which is considered a symptom
of seismic events.
"Almost every year this time they spread similar rumors. It is
natural because the day of Spitak earthquake is near and people start
discussing that topic. Over again they remember those days and make
different commentaries.
We have more than 20 radiometer stations according to which no
anomalies are expected, we assess the situation based on those
radiometers," A. Antonyan added.
