In an interview with Al-Jazeera, RA Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan announced that Armenia has offered to temporarily host manuscripts from the war zone in Israel and Hamas. He stated that Armenia’s renowned manuscript repository could safely keep these documents until the conflict subsides. Mirzoyan emphasized that Armenia stands against targeting civilians, drawing on its own experience of having to leave its historical homeland to protect its families during past conflicts.
Furthermore, Armenia supports a peaceful resolution to the conflict and the Palestinian issue based on the “two-state” principle. The country has also provided humanitarian aid, including food and medicine, to the population of Gaza as part of an agreement reached during Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan’s visit to Egypt. This aid was aimed at helping those affected by the conflict.
The situation in the Middle East escalated when Hamas militants attacked peaceful Jewish settlements, resulting in casualties on both sides. The Israeli government has vowed to clear the Gaza Strip of Hamas terrorists, leading to international debate over the proportionality of their actions. Hamas has been recognized as a terrorist organization by the USA and the EU.
In light of this volatile situation, Armenia stands ready to help by offering to host valuable manuscripts and providing humanitarian aid to those affected by the conflict. The country continues to advocate for a peaceful resolution and the protection of civilian populations in the region.
