SERZH SARKISSIAN EXTENDS CONDOLENCES TO CHINA

Official

Serzh Sarkissian sent a message of condolence to the President of the People’s Republic of China Hu Jintao. The message runs, in part:

“On behalf of the Republic of Armenia and myself, I extend deep condolences to you and the friendly people of China connected with the human losses as a result of the destructive earthquake in the province of Sichuan.

We share the deep sorrow of the families and friends of the killed and wish soon recovery to the wounded. I’m sure that the Chinese people will find enough potential to restore the moral and material consequences of the tragic disaster. Considering Armenia’s experience of eliminating the earthquake consequences, I express our willingness to render necessary support.”

At least 20000 people were reported dead in the result of a May 12 earthquake in China.
