On February 14, Vahan Hunanyan, the Spokesperson of the Armenian Foreign Ministry, stated that Armenian Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan will leave for Turkey on February 15.

"Minister Mirzoyan will meet with the Armenian rescue team carrying out search and rescue operations in the earthquake-affected city of Adıyaman. During the visit, a meeting between Armenian Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan and Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu will take place in Ankara," the Spokesperson informed.

Notably, several days ago, for the first time in 30 years, the highway connecting Armenia to Turkey was opened for a short time. Armenia sent 100 tons of humanitarian cargo to the disaster-stricken city of Adıyaman through the Margara/Alican Bridge. Also, Armenia sent rescue teams to Syria and Turkey to assist in the elimination of the consequences of the earthquake.

Notably, on February 6, a 7.4-magnitude earthquake with at least six aftershocks struck near the Turkish-Syrian border region, causing at least 35418 fatalities as of now [17:00 Ankara time].
