(NIS) on nature-caused or man-caused emergency situations kicked off
in Yerevan today.
Andranik Margaryan, Armenian prime minister, addressed the guests
saying the committee has successfully accomplished its tasks in

considerable harm, including among developed countries," he said.
Margaryan informed the guests that Armenian rescue services comprise
4000 employees against 700 ten years ago. He also mentioned that the
law on rescue service is adopted in Armenia and a State Academy for
