India’s Minister of External Affairs Subrahmanyam Jaishankar has thanked Armenian Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan for facilitating the evacuation of Indian nationals from neighboring Iran.

“Thank FM Ararat Mirzoyan and the Government of Armenia for facilitating the evacuation of Indian fishermen today from Iran, through Armenia to India,” Jaishankar said on X.

Earlier in March, Jaishankar again expressed gratitude to Armenia for facilitating evacuations. At that time, more than 550 Indian nationals had been evacuated from Iran via Armenia.

Since the outbreak of the war in Iran on Feb. 28, citizens of dozens of countries have been evacuated through Armenia.
