“Assessment of national risks in Armenia” 2-day seminar kicked off in Yerevan on May 18, with opening remarks of Dafina Gercheva, UN Resident Coordinator in Armenia.
Representatives of Armenian ministries, international and local organizations are participating.
With the earthquake, landslide and anthropogenic calamity risks being high in Armenia, the local ministries and organizations are specifically concerned over the risk of landslides, which have recently blocked the republic’s several main roads.
“Armenia has much to learn from other countries to reduce calamity risks,” UNDP representative Armen Chilingaryan said.
