YEREVAN, AUGUST 25, ARMENPRESS. Minister of Internal Affairs of Georgia Vakhtang Gomelauri thanked Armenia for offering assistance in extinguishing the forest fire, ARMENPRESS reports, "Sputnik Georgia" informs.

"They offered to help us with equipment. Yes, we have also mobilized the equipment, but you can see that we physically cannot use it in large quantities because of the terrain," Gomelauri said.

According to him, the most effective would be to use airplanes, however, taking into account the scale of forest fires in Europe, Georgia does not expect provision of airplanes.

Earlier, it was reported about strong fires in the forest area at the village of Kvabiskhevi, Borjomi region of Georgia.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
