metadata.value: The article describes the main problems in the existing research on the seismotectonics of
  the territory of Armenia. A review was conducted on certain issues related to the accuracy of
  the initial seismological data, the problem of identifying possible focal zones of strong earthquakes,
  and the probabilistic assessment of the seismic hazard of the territory of Armenia. As
  the results of numerous studies show, the initial seismological data from catalogs and bulletins
  are characterized by their heterogeneity. Different observation systems and different methods
  of seismological data processing have led to the fact that when visualizing the spatial distribution
  of earthquake epicenters on the territory of Armenia, during the instrumental period of
  observations, an artificially lattice network of epicenters is obtained, which does not agree in
  any way with the fault tectonics of the territory. While studying the distribution of earthquake
  hypocenters by depth, the discrete nature of their distribution was revealed. There is also a
  number of disadvantages in the area of allocation of focal zones of strong earthquakes. The
  main part of the conducted research was primarily based on data from previously recorded
  strong seismic events, as well as on data on historical earthquakes. As a result, for the most
  part of the studied territory, in fact, no research was conducted. In addition, there are relevant
  questions about the tectonic basis used in these studies. The last group of problems concerns
  the probabilistic assessment of the seismic hazard of the territory of Armenia. It is shown that
  in the existing works there are quite a few unsubstantiated assumptions. Based on the analysis,
  it is concluded that in the field of seismotectonic studies of the territory of Armenia, there are
  a number of urgent tasks that require priority solutions.
