A civil defense concept will be elaborated in Armenia in conformity
with the national security strategy of Armenia and the Armenia-NATO
individual partnership program.
Gayane Gasparyan, Spokeswoman of the Secretary of the RA National
Security, told NEWS.am that at its November 27 sitting chaired by RA
National Security Secretary Artur Baghdasaryan the interagency work
group decided to submit the concept to the National Security Council
of Armenia for approval next May.
Artur Baghdasaryan pointed out the importance of forming a modern
civil defense system for ensuring Armenia’s national security. He
underlined the practical importance of approving the concept for
the strategic reforms in the Armenian civil defense system and for
meeting the new challenges.
Approving the concept implies an appraisal of the current civil defense
situation in Armenia, forming a civil defense system in conformity
with international standards, expanding the emergency management
system’s potential.
A regional emergency management center will be established in Yerevan,
with regional divisions to be formed later.
