YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 15, ARTSAKHPRESS. Special Representative of Turkey for normalization of relations with Armenia Serdar Kilic said Armenia’s assistance to Turkey after the earthquake is an important development in this phase.
“Our geography, the area where we are situated is one of the important factors determining our fate. Sometimes that fate is unfortunately formed with such disasters. The support from regional countries is an important factor for mitigating the pain and sorrow. Like other countries in the region, the Armenian people also made effort to stand by the Turkish people at this painful moment, it sent search-and-rescue teams, as well as cargo trucks with humanitarian aid, the most recent two trucks being sent yesterday evening. And the Foreign Minister of Armenia came to Ankara and met with our Foreign Minister to express condolences on behalf of the Armenian people. Of course, these are important developments in this stage. Of course we will not forget this support provided by Armenia. This is a very important event. At the same time, pains bring people together. We are going through important processes,” Kilic said in response to a question by ARMENPRESS correspondent.
