    Apr 27 2007

    YEREVAN, APRIL 27, NOYAN TAPAN. At the April 26 sitting, the Armenian
    government approved the RA hydro-meteorological security concept and
    the program of measures on implementation of tasks proceeding from
    the concept.

    Director of the Armstatehydromet service Levon Vardanian told reporters
    after the sitting that the concept is aimed at protection of the
    Armenian population's lives, health and property from dangerous and
    unfavorable hydro-meteorological and heliogeophysical phenomena,
    as well as sustainable social-economic development of the state and
    environmental protection.

    It was noted that droughts, frosts, hails, floods and strong winds
    cause the greatest damage in Armenia, and their frequency and intensity
    has increased in connection with general climatic changes.

    L. Vardanian said that the World Bank is prepared to provide a 6
    million dollar loan for re-equipment of Armenia's hydro-meteorological
    service.
