The Armenian-Russian humanitarian emergency center will be established
in Armenia in 2014, Deputy Director of the Armenian Emergency
Ministry’s rescue service Nikolai Grigorian told reporters on Monday.

“It is expected that Russia will supply the center with equipment,
vehicles and a helicopter. The total investment of Russia will amount
to $12 million,” Grigorian said.

This will be a regional center, which will respond not just to
emergency situations in Armenia but in neighboring countries as well,
