YEREVAN. – An effective anti-hail system must be created in Armenia, Secretary of the National Security Council Arthur Baghdasaryan said.

“We offer to establish a unified system of anti-hail protection,” he told reporters on Thursday.

Baghdasaryan said diverse anti-hail stations are installed in many communities. There is no single mechanism of control, personnel is poorly prepared.

“We have offered and will begin the research to create a single system. Modern scheme of agricultural insurance must be introduced,” he noted.

The farmers must be protected from the economic consequences of natural disasters.

”We will be consistent in addressing the issue,” Baghdasaryan promised.
