ABSTRACT: Determining the coordinates of earthquakes is a priority task in seismically active regions, the accuracy of which is subject to ever-increasing demands. The accuracy and completeness of the data determine the correctness of solving prognostic and structural problems of modern seismology, as well as problems of geodynamics of seismic regions. The work analyzes the registration and processing of Republic Armenia (RA) seismological data. It has been shown that the accuracy of processing Republic Armenia seismological information is generally insufficient to obtain reliable results when determining the coordinates of earthquake hypocenters. From the results obtained it follows that in order to build an accurate and reliable database of seismological information, it is necessary to redefine the existing data using new processing methods, a more accurate model of the structure of the earth, and also to increase the efficiency of the existing observation system. This information is critical to informing earthquake preparedness and mitigation conditions.
