Armenia is located in a geographical zone with a high risk of emergency situations, and it is necessary to always have adequate preparedness, adequate prevention and response systems.

Within the framework of the “Offer to Armenia” project, we present steps, the implementation of which will allow to significantly strengthen the field of emergency management in a short time.

1. Restore the Ministry of Emergency Situations as an effective system established over time.

2. To significantly raise the status of the rescuer. social guarantees, formation of public respect and esteem for the lifeguard profession.

3. To exclude the use of the rescue service in internal political processes.

4. Return the system to professionals. we are talking about those specialists who for some reason left or were unfairly removed from the system.

5. To emphasize the role and participation of women in rescue services.

6. To exclude unfair allocation of titles.

7. Social security guarantees. taking into account the exceptional importance of the work of rescuers for the state and society, the state (in cooperation with the private sector) should have a housing security program, within the framework of which a set number of employees should receive apartments every year. The same applies to other components of family security.

8. Permanent free courses and trainings for rescue service workers in the best professional centers of the world.

9. Armenia should become a regional leader in the quality and adequacy of rescue service.

10. EMS re-equipment. Rescue services in Armenia must have the most modern, latest technical equipment, with international cooperation and assistance, at the expense of the state budget.

11. Rescue unit of drones. create a small team of drones for forest fire detection, missing people search, mountain rescue and other purposes.

12. Create a network of trained volunteers in regions. They can help in search operations, first aid needs and population evacuation.

13. Constant work on raising awareness and preparation in the field of civil protection should be conducted with all social and age groups of the society. All systems, starting with educational institutions, should be in an active, dynamic preparation process, through special guidelines, awareness campaigns, ready to respond to all possible emergency situations.

In fact, there was no Iranian “Nikol” in Iran who would lead Iran to a permanent capitulation, preach the ideology of “Real Iran”, stick a map of Iran without Eastern Azerbaijan, Khuzestan, Baluchistan, Kurdistan, talk about the “era of peace”.

Without the Iranian “Nikol”, the USA and Israel cannot register a victory and are at a dead end.
If it were not for the precedent of Armenia, maybe the USA and Israel would not have gone on such an adventure.

The announcement of the Prosecutor’s Office that “773 million US dollars in property and funds” was allegedly returned to the state in the last 7 years claims to be a balloon for the Day of St. Nicholas preachers.

I put aside that these official numbers, like any other reported information, should always be checked.

We put aside the fact that the vast majority of such cases proceed and end with flagrant illegalities.

I fully accept that in some cases the solutions can be objective.

And with all this.

A hungry group talks about filling the state budget, during which:

The foreign debt of the country increased by 8,000,000,000 US dollars.

Weapons worth 6,000,000,000 US dollars were donated to Azerbaijan.

A reward of 200,000,000 US dollars was distributed.

Several tens of billions worth of property, resources, territories in Artsakh were donated to Azerbaijan.

Not to mention thousands of human losses. To imagine the level of their insolence, do the math: 773,000,000. 5,000 = 154,600 USD.

This is how much one loss of life is “worth” during their tenure, the price of a three-room apartment.

And would you change the life of your son, husband, brother, grandson, father with a three-room apartment?

Amendments were made to the Electoral Code, which entered into force on February 7. According to the amendments concerning the National Assembly regarding elections, the temporary threshold of parties has decreased to 4 percent, the threshold of alliances has increased to 7-8 percent and 10 percent. CEC President Vahagn Hovakimyan said that during the press conference.

“Alliances consisting of up to 3 parties are under the 8 percent threshold, and alliances consisting of 3 or more parties will have to overcome a temporary threshold of 10 percent,” he said.

The other change is that in the case of parties, the amount of bail was reduced from 10 million to 7.5 million, in the case of alliances it was set at 15 million.

“This was done with the intention that the legislation would contribute to the enlargement of political forces, political forces of the same ideology would be more inclined to unite, and the parties would become larger,” he said.

Previously, the law prohibited the formation of alliances consisting of more than three political forces. According to the amendments to the Electoral Code, this ban has been lifted. According to the new regulations, the right to form an alliance in the first 9-day period is given to the political force that received the most votes. CEC President Vahagn Hovakimyan said that during the press conference.

“If the political force that received the most votes fails to form a coalition within that period, then the remaining political forces are given time to form a “minority government” or “minority coalition” in international terminology.

A vivid example of this was Gyumri, when the political forces that crossed the threshold united and formed a coalition. As a result, the political force that received the most votes was left out of that coalition, that is, the minority coalition took over the administration,” he said and added that this order will also apply in the case of NA elections.

“Hraparak” daily writes:

CP MP Karen Sarukhanyan is not the only one in the ruling team whom Nikol Pashinyan urged to take a drug test. They say that there are still such candidates on the pre-election list who are suspected of systematically using drugs, and Pashinyan told some of them to take a test.

We were told that Pashinyan told the “suspects” not to aspire to become a deputy, but they will not remain idle, if they do well in the elections, they will get a position in the executive.

By attacking the civilian systems of US-allied Arab countries, Iran showed the whole world, and Armenia in particular, that the United States does not provide a security umbrella for its allies. Most of all, this security is not provided when the USA officially declares that it is not a guarantor of security (as was said in the case of Armenia). In other words, the rumors that TRIPP is a security guarantee for Armenia are nonsense.

Armenia needs guaranteed peace, which implies

-restoration of the Armenian army on the basis of professionalism,

– restoration and deepening of relations with natural allies,

– existence of the mediator-guarantor institution in the process of regulating Armenian-Azerbaijani relations,

– Exclusion of the scenario of turning Armenia into a theater of conflict between the superpowers,

-Construction of a communication intersection within the framework of preserving Armenia’s independence and territorial integrity and providing a real blockade.

An important prerequisite for all this is the formation of a new government through the June 7 NA elections.

The power of the day, a symbol of war and defeat, is in the dustbin of history.

Director of the Armenian Genocide Museum-Institute, Edita Gzoyan, has written a resignation letter. This was reported to Sputnik Armenia by the museum-institute.

“The application has been written, but there is no legal act regarding it yet,” said the museum.

They did not comment on the remaining questions, suggesting to send a written request. Gzoyan himself does not comment on the situation either.

Let’s remind: “Hraparak” newspaper wrote a few days ago that Minister of Education and Culture Zhanna Andreasyan urged Edita Gzoyan to write a resignation letter, and even threatened to fire her if she did not voluntarily write. According to the news, the official reason was that Gzoyan allegedly did not properly supervise the construction of the Tsitsernakaberd memorial complex, which is not his function. There are also rumors that the situation around Gzoyan is related to the February visit of US Vice President JD Vance. Gzoyan presented the history of Sumgait and Baku pogroms and the Artsakh conflict to Vance, and the term “Artsakh” was used in the museum’s official statement.
