YEREVAN. – Armenia is among the world’s top three manufacturers
of earthquake-resistant cushions, Retine Noruyt (Rubber Novelty)
Company Director Gagik Ignatosyan told Armenian News-NEWS.am.

The earthquake-resistant cushions are special rubber devices that are
installed in the foundations of the buildings to increase the level
of their resistance to earthquakes.

As per Ignatosyan, these “cushions” are already exported to Iran,
