The ex-Prime Minister of Ukraine, Viktor Yanukovich will arrive in
Armenia on December 5 to participate in the arrangements dedicated
to the 20th anniversary of Spitak earthquake.
The city authorities of Spitak have taken the decision to name one
of the streets of the city after the leader of the Ukrainian Party
of Regions. This way, the Armenian side expressed its gratitude to
Viktor Yanukovich for his contribution to the reconstruction of the
city after the earthquake.
In 1988 Viktor Yanukovich headed the Production Association
"Donbastransremont." According to the information of the Party
of Regions, they received a letter from Spitak, which states that
"from the very beginning Viktor Yanukovich actively participated in
providing assistance to the casualties of the earthquake, headed the
staffing of rescue brigades and construction gangs."
