Edik Barseghyan: we must rule out repetition of Perm tragedy in Armenia
There are 63 fire & rescue brigades in Armenia. There is also a 15-member rapid reaction brigade and 110 rescuers who can be sent abroad, for example in Turkey and Iran.

"The number of incidents has reduced but it is not a reason to relax. We will monitor 500 entertainment facilities planning New Year parties. We must rule out repetition of Perm tragedy in Armenia," said Edik Barseghyan, RA rescue service chief.
