OSCE DONATES EQUIPMENT TO ARMENIAN EMERGENCY MINISTRY
15:58, 13 Oct 2014
Ambassador Andrey Sorokin, Head of the OSCE Office in Yerevan, donated
equipment on behalf of the Office to Armenia's Ministry of Emergency
Situations on 13 October 2014 to support the Ministry's efforts in
raising its capacities to protect people and the environment.
Armen Yeritsyan, Armenian Emergency Situations Minister, received
the equipment on behalf of the Ministry, which includes a portable
spectrometer, desktop and laptop computers and a printer/scanner.
In addition to this, the Office also plans to provide full sets of
protection gear, including chemical protection suits, masks, gloves,
rubber boots and glasses, over the course of next month.
The equipment will considerably expand the capabilities of the
Ministry's units in identifying and analyzing the presence of dangerous
particles in the environment. It will help in the development of a
corresponding database with regards to contamination levels. This would
lead to better planning and improved implementation of the necessary
rescue activities for protecting specific areas and the population.
The donation is a follow-up initiative to an OSCE project implemented
in 2013 aimed at revealing the volume and contents of toxic waste
contained in a burial site in Nubarashen, near Yerevan. The feasibility
study supported by the OSCE Office provided an accurate assessment
of the risk level of environmental damage in the surrounding areas
and suggested remedy action plans.
