And as allies, we are always ready to lend a shoulder, based on the needs of Yerevan,” Zakharova said in response to the question on whether Armenia did respond to the offer of assistance after heavy floods in the north of the country.

She recalled that the Russian-Armenian Center for Humanitarian Response immediately joined in eliminating the consequences and handed over the necessary equipment to the Armenian authorities.
The Russian Ministry of Defense expressed its readiness to help with the forces and resources of the 102nd military base. The issue of providing assistance is also being considered by a number of Russian companies operating in Armenia, in particular, the South Caucasus Railways, which operates the Yerevan-Tbilisi route.
