This is the shows the worst part of us. While the videos of telethons in France and Italy were touching as were the empathy shown America and round the world, the uncaring theft with it's disregard for our people in contrast displays the real presents of huta, Judas, who lives with us.

 

Like there is hump of dirt bulldozed around Yerevan so as to stop any moneys pouring into that city spilling into the Armenia beyond. 

 

Some of it may be due to 70 years of Soviet Austvadts chaga. Excuse the rendering of Armenian/Latin.

YEREVAN, DECEMBER 7, ARMENPRESS. The Spitak earthquake shattered the peace of Armenia 34 years ago. The devastating earthquake, measuring 10 degrees on the MSK scale, took place in 40% of the territory of Armenia at 11:41 (local time), December 7, 1988. Spitak, Leninakan, Kirovakan, Stepanavan towns, over hundreds of villages and settlements of Spitak, Akhuryan, Gugark, Aragats, Kalinino, Stepanavan were fully or partially demolished during a few seconds.

 

More than 25 thousand people died, 514.000 people remained homeless. 17% of the housing resources broke down (over 8 million square meters of living area). 230 industrial objects with 82 thousand workplaces were ruined due to the quake. The economic damage of Armenia amounted to 13 billion RUB.

The commission headed by Nikolai Ryzhkov, Chairman of the Council of Ministers of the USSR, arrived in Armenia on the next day of the earthquake. They performed a great job with care and many efforts to assist the people and eliminate the consequences of the tragedy. The Armenian people received the aid with gratitude, awarding Ryzhkov with decoration of the National Hero of Armenia on December 6, 2008. More than 113 countries and 7 international organizations aided Armenia.

 

Hundreds of rescuers and doctors arrived in the Republic of Armenia. All the republics of the USSR started to transport medication, medical equipment, construction equipment, tents, food etc. to Armenia. 

 

The Armenians of the Diaspora united from the first hours of the earthquake to provide assistance to their compatriots, creating many organizations for that aim. Many of them; doctors, psychologists, constructors, architects stayed in Armenia to personally participate in rescue and restoration works.

PanARMENIAN.Net - 35 years have passed since the devastating earthquake that hit the northwestern regions of Armenia on December 7, 1988.

35 years ago today, at 11:41 am local time, a 6.9-magnitude earthquake shook northwestern Armenia followed by a 5.8-magnitude aftershock four minutes later. In the epicenter – the village of Nalband – the tremors were reported to measure 10 on the Richter scale.

The earthquake leveled the cities of Spitak and Gyumri, as well as about 60 villages, leaving at least 25,000 people dead, 140,000 disabled and 500,000 homeless.

All financial and labor capabilities of the Soviet Union were mobilized for reconstruction, as 45 thousand builders from all the member states arrived to help rebuild the destroyed areas. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the restoration program was suspended.
