Choices by governments for containment and control strategies of the pandemic shaped political discourse and practices, public debates, as well as peoples’ daily lives. This report investigates the twofold manner in which societies and political systems address emergency situations, taking Armenia and Germany as two comparative examples. First, it presents the state of the art of research on democracy and disaster as well as pandemic management. This chapter closes with characteristics of democratic disaster management based on the literature review.

  • On Development of Yerevan Metro to Ajapnyak District
    ON DEVELOPMENT OF YEREVAN METRO TO AJAPNYAK DISTRICT Background and Brief information about Yerevan Metro The construction of the Yerevan metro began since 1972. Geological research has revealed that the static groundwater level is at a depth of 9 meters above the ground. This meant that the tunnel structures of the metro had to be installed in the most saturated parts of the groundwater. Under conditions of unprecedented infiltration of water drilling was impossible, which inevitably led to an artificial lowering of the groundwater level. This process was carried out by digging shafts up to 58 meters deep from the surface of the tunnels along the proposed route, high-efficiency deep pumps were installed in them (approximately 220 m 3 / hour), which continuously lowered the water level for 24 hours, somehow creating an opportunity to drill tunnels. The total number of exploration and labor shafts was more than 100, however, it was not possible to lower the water level below the lower level of the tunnel under construction, and to make a free drilling. Due to the difficult hydrogeological conditions of Yerevan, subsoil did not allow to make drilling without expelling huge amounts of accumulated water to the surface. Except the many water supply pumps, pumping stations were built and installed in the tunnels, which together pump 10-12 thousand cubic meters of water per hour. Under these conditions, it was impossible to provide high performance or high- speed tunnel crossing. It was impossible to drill or fasten more than one meter per day from each crossing point. Tunnel workers from different cities of the Soviet Union, who drilled 10 meters more every day in their cities.

To spread the knowledge of Armenian numismatics, for the past few decades, the So- ciety has been shipping numismatic books to Armenia to be distributed to Armenian schools of higher education. Armenian day-schools in the United States are subsidized by donations from parents, benefactors, and members of the Armenian community living within the immediate vicin- ity of the school. Tuition fees cover only a fraction of the total expenses. Tight budget limits the financial allocations for Armenological books; numismatic books are a luxury which is out of the question. Recently, the executive board of the Society decided to donate Armenian numismatic books to Armenian High Schools in the United States.
