The landslide was 200 m long and 60 m in height. A number of trucks and cars rolled into Debed river as a result. Electricity is cut off in the neighbouring communities because of damaged power lines. Five (5) people are declared missing; nine (9) people are hospitalized; 35 machines are completely buried and most of them damaged. Search and rescue teams worked tirelessly throughout day and night. With rains continuing to pour, the threat of the landslide hazard is still a reality and complicates the search and rescue work since heavy equipment cannot be used. There are about 77 members of the search and rescue team on scene working tirelessly with many community volunteers using spades and hand power. ACTIONS TO DATE, AND EMERGENCY NEEDS: Following a decision of the Armenian Prime Minister and with direct supervision of the Minister of Emergencies, an intervention team is formed to eliminate the impact of the landslide and for the effective coordination of the action of rescuers, fire-fighters, the Ministry of Emergency, Defense, Health, Transport and Communication, police officers and volunteers from different communities. Initial support was provided in the landslide area to assist the passengers in the cars and also the different means of transportation left in the ruins. On Thursday 6 October, the Ministry of Emergencies disseminated message to all local and international organizations calling for rapid response and support. Emergency & RRF No. 2 The Armenia Round Table keeps regular contacts with the management of the operative team and the local priest of the affected district of its partner Tavush Diocese for the latest updates and of rapid needs assessment caused by the emergency. Currently the following activities are completed: An operative team is formed for effective coordination of different parties, Rescue teams from all regions of Armenia are working for 3 duties, Crisis management center keeps regular contact with the emergency scene, As of October 6, hundreds of volunteers from different communities joined the rescuers and firefighters to participate in search and rescue operations. The number of the volunteers from different communities is increasing, The Ministry of Emergencies gives regular updates on National TV channels, radio, on the following websites: www.mes.am; www.news.am. PROPOSED EMERGENCY RESPONSE: Based on the initial rapid assessment in close cooperation with the management of operative team and local priest of Tavush Diocese ART is currently planning immediate response to the emergency situation. The following activities will be carried out by the rescuing team, volunteers from communities and groups from different structures: Organization and the purchase of the required emergency-related logistics and arrangements with communicators. The equipment is foreseen for the rescuers, volunteers from local communities, and other people working in the places, Follow-up the distribution of the emergency-related logistics, Preparation work for monitoring: preparation of the relevant documentation and questionnaires, Monitoring and evaluation: the group of monitoring will be consisted of ART staff, clergy from Tavush Diocese, Reporting. The Ministry of Emergencies and the operational management group assessed the needs for the moment. There are many problems and needs existing at the place, especially technical and communication equipment but the Ministry appealed to the Armenia Round Table to provide the following support: Tents 11 Sleeping bags 50 Portable kitchen 1 Bio-toilets 2 Generators 2 Torches 100 OBJECTIVE(S) OF THE EMERGENCY RESPONSE: The emergency response will enhance capabilities of human resources to complete the rescue activities in a successful and timely manner. Ensure better conditions for quick and urgent response. Rescuers and the community volunteers are working in hardest conditions without technical and sanitary-hygienic equipment for 24 hours. The temperature is even colder at nights than usually for this period of time in autumn. People need better conditions to be able continue working. The Minister of Emergency Situations who is in the place and coordinating the operative team activities assured that the search and rescue work will be non-stopped until any information about the missing people. Emergency & RRF No. 3 Also, the governor informed, that a group of specialists from the National Academy of Sciences and the Institute of Geology are investigating the mountain landslide in the disaster zone to identify the reasons of the hazard that is actively continues. TARGET POPULATIONS: An irrigation water pipeline supplying water the following five communities is damaged: Lchkadzor (with population of 480), Haghtanak (with population of 2400), Ptghavan (with population of 1700), Bagratashen (with population of 3200), and Debetavan (with population of 1200). According to the official statistics the age range of the population in all five villages is as follows: 12% under 5, 15% 6-17, 58% 18-65, and 15% over 65. Sex ratio is accordingly as follows: male 42% and female 58%. The main source of income of the population is from agriculture. The villages are located close to the affected area. In the result of the damaged irrigation water pipeline the villagers are deprived of watering the orchards and the fields after the harvest and will face economic hardships caused by the hazard. In addition, an orchard with a small house owned by a local teacher from Lchkadzor is completely destroyed and the main road for the tracks bringing goods through Georgia is ruined. Another road passing around is overburdened that makes problematic situation in the communication and over the economy of the country.

  • On the Status and Distribution of Thrush Nightingale Luscinia Luscinia and Common Nightingale L
    Sandgrouse31-090402:Sandgrouse 4/2/2009 11:21 AM Page 18 On the status and distribution of Thrush Nightingale Luscinia luscinia and Common Nightingale L. megarhynchos in Armenia VASIL ANANIAN INTRODUCTION In the key references on the avifauna of the Western Palearctic and former Soviet Union, the breeding distributions of Common Luscinia megarhynchos and Thrush Nightingales L. luscinia in the Transcaucasus (Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan) are presented inconsistently, especially for the latter species. These sources disagree on the status of Thrush Nightingale in the area, thus Vaurie (1959), Cramp (1988) and Snow & Perrins (1998) considered it breeding in the Transcaucasus, while Dementiev & Gladkov (1954), Sibley & Monroe (1990) and Stepanyan (2003) do not. Its distribu- tion in del Hoyo et al (2005) is mapped according to the latter view, but they note the species’ presence in Armenia during the breeding season. Several other publications Plate 1.

Thrush Nightingale in Azerbaijan was classified as ‘accidental’ by Patrikeev (2004). The author accepted that the species had possibly nested in the past and referred to old summer records by GI Radde from the Karayasi forest in the Kura–Aras (Arax) lowlands, but Patrikeev found only Common Nightingale there in the late 1980s.
