Baku/11.02.23/Turan: Armenian President Vahagn Khachaturian expressed gratitude to Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan for the government's approach in connection with the earthquake in Turkey and Syria, Armenpress reports.

“I mean both condolences and readiness to help neighboring Turkey. Also, for the attitude towards friendly Syria. In fact, it was appreciated in both countries, especially in Syria. I think we could not do otherwise, because the wounds of the Spitak earthquake (1988) are still fresh in our memory, besides, a tragedy occurred in a neighboring country, we could not do otherwise. I want to express special gratitude to you for these decisions.”

Prime Minister Pashinyan noted in his speech that “a terrible disaster has occurred, and it would be impossible to be indifferent to all this. Especially in the context that I mentioned in my New Year's address, that if we want to ensure the longevity of our state, we must work to change the quality of our relations in many areas, but primarily in our region, because in spite of everything , we are here, and the countries around us, our neighboring countries are also here.”

Pashinyan noted that, first of all, it is necessary to work on changing the quality of these relations. “Of course, understanding (this), we are not so naive as to think that it depends only on us. Of course, it depends not only on us, and we do not forget about any circumstance. The problem is in which direction we want to direct our efforts. It is very important that we often discuss all these issues. I think many people know that we meet not only in official, but also in informal formats. There is understanding, agreement, and support from the President of the Republic is really very important. Thank you for this.”—0—
