Armenia sends aid to Turkey

Armenia has sent five trucks of humanitarian aid to Turkey after Turkish authorities opened a bridge crossing that had been closed for thirty years.

The aid trucks passing the Alican border crossing in Turkey’s Igdir province are bound for the ten Turkish provinces directly affected by the earthquake, Anadolu agency said.

The last time the crossing was used was in 1988, when the Turkish Red Crescent delivered aid to Armenia after an earthquake struck the country.

Thank you dear @VahanKostanyan thank you dear @RubenRubinyan for your kind efforts to make this happen. I will always remember the generous aid sent by the people of Armenia to help alleviate the sufferings of our people in the eartquake striken region in Türkiye. https://t.co/4Q6PHOhsVj pic.twitter.com/NNU7r0FLow
