The government or our foreign ministry will probably make a statement, rest assured that the government responds to everything it deems necessary in the prescribed manner and process. Minister of Health Anahit Avanesyan told this to reporters in the National Assembly of Armenia today—and addressing the question of why the matter of Armenia sending humanitarian aid to Iran is being delayed, whereas neighboring countries Turkey and Azerbaijan have already taken such a step.

"Our healthcare system therefore has an action plan regarding all situations, and is ready to act in accordance with this plan in all circumstances," the Armenian minister of health added.
