YEREVAN, JUNE 22, ARMENPRESS. All government ministries are doing everything possible to restore the normal movement of persons and goods along the Lachin Corridor, Minister of Healthcare of Armenia Anahit Avanesyan told reporters.

“The humanitarian situation is certainly getting worse hour by hour, because the reserves are depleting. Besides, when planned medical treatment is postponed and the needs aren’t addressed, the needs become urgent,” she said.

The Ministry of Healthcare of Armenia maintains permanent contact with its colleagues in Nagorno Karabakh, Avanesyan said.

“There are patients in Artsakh whose treatment is only possible in Armenia. The Stepanakert hospital is well equipped, it has a good specialized team, but there are some specialized directions that can be addressed only in Yerevan,” she said.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
