ArmInfo. Armenian National Seismic Protection Service has drawn out a
new system to define possible earthquake focus. The system is called
‘Huys’ (Hope) has been drawn out in Armenia, Director of the Service
Alvaro Antonyan said at today’s press-conference.
He also added the system will make ot possible to use the data of 150
seismic stations and on their basis to define the territory which
is the most dangerous from the seismic point of view. ‘Taking into
account effectiveness of the system, one can say that repetition of
the Spitak earthquake of 1988 is ruled out as warning will allow the
population to evacuate in time’, – Antonyan said.To note, it is not
clear yet when the system will start functioning.
