During today's session, the government allocated more than 157 million AMD from the reserve fund to the Ministry of Emergency Situations in order to compensate for the costs of the humanitarian aid sent to Turkey and Syria affected by the earthquake.

Then, Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan summed up his visit to Turkey yesterday, after which Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan announced that he considers the criticism against them unacceptable.

"I can't imagine any situation where millions of people just across the door need support in a natural disaster and anyone can be indifferent, that's totally unacceptable on any basis and for any reason."

Pashinyan reminded that they have repeatedly emphasized the vision of changing the quality of relations in the region.

"I'm sorry that such a certain atmospheric change is taking place in the conditions of such an unprecedented disaster, but perhaps also objectively human tragedy makes people more understandable to each other. Maybe it is also an objective reality. I hope that this can really become a new starting point for the establishment of relations in the region, for the establishment of relations between Armenia and Turkey."

The head of the executive also emphasized that he considers the work in the direction of Syria to be very important.

"Many objective and subjective circumstances made humanitarian aid to Syria less accessible. I must record that Armenia was one of the first countries to make a decision and send humanitarian aid to Syria. We were also planning the visit of the Foreign Minister to the Syrian Arab Republic. If our Syrian partners do not mind, we will make such a visit in the near future, and I think that the Chief Commissioner of Diaspora Affairs should visit Syria in order to express our support."

Pashinyan also mentioned that the Armenian rescuers who went to Syria have already returned to their homeland, and those who went to Turkey will return by land today.

It should be reminded that the delegation headed by the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Armenia Ararat Mirzoyan was in Ankara, the capital of Turkey on February 15. Armenian and Turkish Foreign Ministers Ararat Mirzoyan and Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu had a private conversation in Ankara, followed by an extended meeting, after which the ministers made statements.
