Abstract: An evaluation of seismic hazard assessment in the territory of Armenia is presented in this work. The catastrophic M=7.0 Spitak earthquake in 1988 revealed the drawbacks of the acting seismic zoning map. Two seismic hazard maps have been compiled in NSSP RA during 1991–1996. The deterministic approach was applied in the first one and the probabilistic in the second one. Both maps were compiled on the basis of the same database. Comparison between the maps shows good correlation. Copyright Kluwer Academic Publishers 1998
