    YEREVAN. - Armenia's Emergency Situations Ministry held its weekly
    consultation on Monday, and it was chaired by Minister Armen
    Yeritsyan.

    The Minister presented the agreements that were reached during the
    recent Minsk session of the CSTO Emergency Situations Coordinating
    Council. In line with these arrangements, Armenian and Russian
    Ministries of Emergency Situations' Caucasus Regional Center for Joint
    Humanitarian Aid will be established in Armenia.

    Furthermore, the Emergency Situations Minister commissioned the Crisis
    Management Center to cut down the call-response time as much as
    possible. Also, video cameras will soon be installed in all of
    Armenia's fire departments and fire engines.

    The Crisis Management Center received over 430,000 calls in the past
    week alone. Also, the Police hotline and the ambulance service
    received close to 170,000 and around 200,000 calls, respectively, in
    the same time period.

    `This bespeaks the great trust which the 911 service has achieved
    among the people in a short ump of time. This is our accomplishment,'
    said Armen Yeritsyan.
