Secretary of Armenia's National Security Council Arthur Baghdasaryan
on Monday visited the geophysical monitoring station in Garni which
has been undergoing improvements.
"This is an important initiative by the Armenian government and the
Ministry of Emergency Situations, as the operation of this station
will give us the chance to monitor earthquakes and their magnitude
in a radius of 12,000 kilometers and share this information with
neighboring countries," Baghdasaryan said.
The station will be modernized and put back into operation in the
nearest future.
Armenian Minister of Emergency Situations Armen Yeritsyan said it
will conduct more accurate research, estimate deformation processes
of the earth core within the territory of Armenia, and make long-term
forecasts on earthquakes.
The station built in 1977-1982 was equipped with the most modern
technology at that time.
In 2011, 15 earthquakes were registered in Armenia, with no death
reported, according to Yeristsyan.
