    Armenia's huge experience in the sphere of management of hazards can
    be useful for other countries, Executive Secretary of the European
    and Mediterranean Major Hazards Agreement Eladio Fernandez-Galiano
    told a news conference.

    According to him, Armenia is situated in a region, where almost all
    kinds of disaster happen. That is why the country has gained great
    experience in risk assessment and fighting natural disasters. He
    welcomed Armenia's progress in risk reduction, especially the
    establishment of the national platform foundation.

    Created in 1987, the European and Mediterranean Major Hazards
    Agreement (EUR-OPA) is a platform for co-operation between European
    and Southern Mediterranean countries in the field of major natural
    and technological disasters. Its field of action covers the knowledge
    of hazards, risk prevention, risk management, post-crisis analysis
    and rehabilitation. he main objectives of the EUR-OPA Major Hazards
    Agreement are to reinforce and to promote co-operation between Member
    States in a multi-disciplinary context to ensure better prevention,
    protection against risks and better preparation in the event of major
    natural or technological disasters.

    Set up by the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe in 1987,
    the Agreement is "open" because any non-member State of the Council of
    Europe may apply to become a member. It has to date 26 Member States.
