February 15, Fineko/abc.az. It will take at least 4 years to update the seismic map, ABC.AZ quotes Gurban Yetirmishli, director general of the AMEA Republican Seismological Service Center.

He said that to do this, it is necessary to conduct research and clarifications throughout the republic: "The seismic zoning map will show which areas are 8-9 points. An appeal will be submitted to the Cabinet Ministers to prepare the map."

Yetirmishli noted that the last map of the general seismic zoning was compiled in 1978: "After a strong earthquake in Spitak, in 1991, the seismic scores on the general seismic map were automatically increased by one point by districts. Now we need to do research to improve this map."
