    NSSP REFUTES THE INFORMATION ABOUT THE EARTHQUAKE EXPECTED IN ARMENIA

    The information that a strong earthquake is expected in Armenia does
    not correspond to reality. Director of the National Survey for Seismic
    Protection of Armenia Alvaro Antonyan told a press conference today
    that the NSSP has a national observation network, which keeps track
    of 40 parameters with the help of 150 stations. Using the most modern
    means of transferring information, i.e. satellite, radio and digital
    communication, the data is transferred to the center, analyzed and
    the existing seismic danger is assessed.

    The reason of the panic, according to Alvaro Antonyaн, was the speech
    of one of the NSSP experts, who noted that their radon-measuring
    stations indicate that thevolume of radon gas in the Earth crust
    is more than it should be, which is viewed as a sign of seismic
    events. "Almost every year people spread such information in this
    season, because the day of Spitak earthquake is nearing, people start
    talking about it, recall the events on 1988 and start making comments.

    "We have more than 20 radon measuring units, which indicate that
    there are no anomalies, and we assess the situation deriving from
    that data. No country in the world manages to predict the date,
    location and time of earthquakes. At the best, we can assess the
    current seismic danger," Alvaro Antonyan added.
