YEREVAN, JULY 17, NOYAN TAPAN. Head of the RA Presidential Staff
Karen Karapetian on July 17 conducted a working consultation on the
program of creating an antihail system in Armenia.

RA Minister of Emergency Situations Mher Shahgeldian explained the
necessity of this program by the circumstance that the geographical
and climatic conditions in Armenia are conducive to the formation of
dangerous atmospheric phenomena, and due to the absence of a complex
system of their suppression, the agriculture suffers considerable
losses.

Underlining the social importance of the problem, K. Karapetian said
that the Armenian president keeps it in the center of his attention.

After discussing the proposals, considerations and comments voiced
regarding the program, the participants of the consultation reached
a conclusion that work should be organized by a test version: it is
necessary to implement pilot programs, assess their advantages and
shortcomings and then work out a complex program.
