"He has donated tens of vehicles, as well as other equipment to
Armenia within the framework of our cooperation; a number of training
courses for specialists, Governors and Mayors have been organized,"
Nikolay Grigoryan said.
"The Armenian Ministry of Emergency Situations is the best in the
Commonwealth of Independent States. We now have a wonderful crisis
management center, which not all countries can afford," he added.
Armenia and France plan to establish voluntary rescue teams. Minister
of Emergency Situations Armen Yeritsyan is the author of the
initiative. The work will be voluntary, but the staff will enjoy
certain privileges.
