Armenia will immediately assist Greece if needed, in overcoming the situation created in the country as a result of the forest fires, said Vahan Hunanyan, spokesperson for the Armenian Foreign Ministry, in response to Armenpress’s question as to whether the Armenian government is preparing to provide aid to Greece.
“We are deeply concerned about the situation created by the forest fires that broke out in friendly Greece and express our solidarity with the brotherly Greek people in these difficult times.
We have been in contact with our Greek counterparts and have offered assistance. Greece has expressed its gratitude to Armenia for the offered assistance and readiness, and at the same time informed that, given that the situation related to the fires in the country has moved from a crisis phase to a relatively mild stage, there is no need for additional support for now“, Hunanyan noted.
According to him, Armenia will continue to closely follow the situation and, if necessary, will immediately extend a helping hand to the brotherly Greek people.
It should be noted that forest fires broke out in Greece on 29 July.
