Abstract
On December 7, 1988 at 11:41 AM local time, a strong earthquake with severe consequences occurred in the Republic of Armenia. The epicenter of the earthquake was in the Lesser Caucasus Highlands, about 80 km south of the ridge of the main range of the Caucasus Mountains. Seismographs all over the world recorded the Armenia earthquake. The event parameters reported by the Institute of Physics of the Earth of the USSR were a magnitude of 7.0 and a depth of 10 km.
