    More than 40% of Armenian territory has been ruined during the Spitak
    earthquake in 1988, 21 cities, 342 villages were half destroyed
    and 25000 people died, said Edik Barseghyan, the director of Rescue
    Service of the Ministry of Emergency Situations during a conference on
    Spitak earthquake today. "20 years have passed since the earthquake
    and we should conclude what we have done during that disaster and
    what we can to now. Then we were not ready to meet such challenges,
    then there was not either a Ministry of Emergency Situations or a
    rescue service," said the director.

    Currently there are certain plans of activities in rescue service and
    in local self governing bodies. Trainings were organized and conducted
    in Gyumri on1-2 December. Andrey Ligoshin, of the Ministry of Emergency
    Situations of Russian Federation said that it was remarkable that
    Armenia has a rescue service which corresponds to international
    standards.
