The Ministry of Emergency Situations, on the instruction of the Prime Minister of Armenia, has organized the transport of more than 30 tons of aid to the earthquake-affected Syrian Arab Republic.
“The humanitarian cargo includes food, medicine and medical equipment. It is to be sent to Syria from Yerevan’s ‘Erebuni’ airport,” stated the Ministry’s announcement.
The cargo was transported from Yerevan to Aleppo by an ‘IL-76’ aircraft. The Rescue Service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs supported the organizational work.
It was noted that the process was followed by Minister of Emergency Situations Armen Pambukhchyan.
The Armenian Embassy in Syria, for its part, confirmed that the aid has reached Syria, and that 29 Armenian rescuers also arrived in Aleppo on the same aircraft.
