France increases support for Armenia to 12.5 million euros to help displaced people from Nagorno-Karabakh

YEREVAN, October 4. /ARKA/. France has increased the financial support to Armenia from 7 to 12.5 million euros to help it address the basic needs of the people displaced from Nagorno-Karabakh, French Foreign Minister Catherine Colonna said in Yerevan on Tuesday.

Colonna visited a medical facility in Yerevan that treats people who received serious burns as a result of explosion of a fuel depot near Stepanakert late last month to hand over humanitarian aid to the facility. She was accompanied by Health Minister Anahit Avanesyan. The explosion killed 170 people and insured many others.

Colonna said four of the patients would be transported to France for further treatment.

"My visit expresses France's friendship, but not only friendship, but support and solidarity and diplomatic solidarity. France reacted quickly to the tragedy that saw tens of thousands of people displaced from their homes under threat of force. We will continue to stand by your side," Colonna was quoted as saying by Armenia's Public Television.

On September 30, some 5 tons of humanitarian aid from France arrived in Armenia delivering medical equipment and medicines to support the forcibly displaced people from Nagorno-Karabakh, as well as to treat seriously wounded people.-0-
