Shocked by News from Iran: Armenian Foreign Ministry

Shocked by the news coming from Iran. Our thoughts and prayers are with President Raisi, Minister Abdollahian, and everyone at the scene of the incident.

This was stated in a statement issued by the Armenian Foreign Ministry. As rescue operations continue, Armenia, as a close and friendly neighbor of Iran, is ready to provide all necessary support.

It is recalled that earlier reports indicated that the helicopter transporting Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi made a "hard landing" in Azerbaijani territory. The search for the helicopter carrying the Iranian president has been ongoing for about 4 hours.
