YEREVAN. – Armenia is located in one of the planet’s three most
seismically dangerous zones, seismologist Vladimir Balasanyan stated
during a press conference on Tuesday.

In his words, nothing extraordinary has occurred. “There have been,
there are, and there will always be earthquakes in Armenia. What’s
important is to think as to how to build and prepare for earthquakes,”
Balasanyan noted, advising not to panic in any way. And in this regard,
he emphasized Japan’s example.

“In actual fact, we are not prepared to encounter earthquakes in such
way that we may suffer little damage,” the seismologist maintained.
