Iranian Red Crescent Society has provided humanitarian assistance to the Armenian Red Cross to respond to the most urgent and pressing needs of people displaced from Nagorno Karabakh. The aid was handed on May 12 when Deputy Ambassador of Iran to Armenia Ali Mohammad Mottaghi visited the Armenian Red Cross Society (ARCS) and was hosted by ARCS Secretary General Anna Yeghiazaryan. 

The assistance included  cloths, personal basic items and beddings, 400 units of kitchen items, 15,000 units of medical equipment which will be donated to the National Burn Center. 

Anna Yeghiazaryan has expressed gratitude to the government of the Islamic Republic for the cooperation and the assistance. "We have been partnering with the Iranian Red Crescent Society for many years and I am confident our cooperation will continue in the future for the benefit of all vulnerable groups," Yeghizaryan said in her remarks. 

To note, the Armenian Red Cross Society (ARCS) has been providing humanitarian assistance to people who arrived in Armenia in search of safety since the very first days of the escalation of the Nagorno – Karabakh conflict.
