Vladimir Vardanyan on Arsen Torosyan's Condolences to Turkey

Vladimir Vardanyan, a member of the National Assembly’s Civil Contract faction, responded to a reporter's question about whether Arsen Torosyan's condolences to Turkey, in which he stated that the peoples of the region mourn for a heavy loss, were an excessive humanitarian gesture. Vardanyan said, “A person has the right to express their opinion; humanitarianism is never excessive, as it is part of Christian values. There are many cases that require a response. For other questions, please contact Arsen Torosyan, as it was his personal opinion.”

It is worth noting that Arsen Torosyan, a member of the National Assembly’s Civil Contract faction, posted on Twitter, saying, “I sincerely express my condolences to our neighbor regarding the death of miners in Bartın. The peoples of the region mourn this heavy loss.”

Also, Armenia's Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan expressed condolences to Turkey, to which Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu and President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan expressed their gratitude in response.
