ArmInfo. Germany sympathizes with the Armenian people. German Deputy Chief of Mission, now Charge d'Affaires Erik Tintrup stated this after visiting the resort town of Jermuk, which suffered as a result of Azerbaijani aggression. Sharing his impressions after what he saw, the diplomat stressed that he was extremely concerned about what had happened.
Noting that Jermuk is peaceful resort town located in a picturesque corner, Tintrup said that there were also German tourists there on Tuesday (September 13). "The fact that none of the residents were killed is almost like a miracle, as the artillery shots were fired at restaurants and the cable car [system] located kilometers from the border, only a few hundred meters from residential buildings and hotels full of tourists," Tintrup said. He also said that one of the tourists from Germany took a photo of the moment of the explosion from her hotel room. It should be noted that Erik Tintrup was one of the 50 diplomats invited by the Armenian Foreign Ministry to a briefing in Jermuk.
