ArmInfo. The Russian Foreign Ministry spoke about Russian comprehensive assistance to Armenia and  the Armenian population of Nagorno-Karabakh.

The department's statement notes that Russia continues consistent efforts to provide comprehensive assistance to Armenia and the Armenian population of Nagorno-Karabakh.

"In response to an appeal from the Armenian leadership, Russia began  supplying the oil products needed by the republic. We are talking  about 15 thousand tons of gasoline and 20 thousand tons of diesel  fuel. As it became known from the partners' request, the situation in  this area in Armenia is not easy. The country has almost reached the  balance sheet approved for the current year. The autumn-winter period  is ahead.  Russia's support will be very timely and useful," the  message says.

At the same time, it is emphasized that "despite the introduction on  September 21 by the Government of the Russian Federation of a  temporary ban on the export of commercial gasoline and diesel fuel  from our country, the Russian side met the allies halfway within the  framework of the corresponding intergovernmental agreement signed in  December 2013."

"In addition to assistance through the Russian-Armenian Center for  Humanitarian Response, taking into account the briefing of the  Armenian Foreign Ministry on October 2, the Russian Ministry of  Emergency Situations took into consideration the request of its  partners regarding the provision of humanitarian aid to the Karabakh  Armenians in the near, medium and long term. Together with Rosrezerv,  a primary list of items that could be sent to the republic in the  coming days has already been formed.

At the final stage - the direction of humanitarian aid by such  domestic humanitarian organizations as the Russian Humanitarian  Mission, foundations named after Elizaveta Glinka Doctor Liza and  Hurry To Do Good!, the cargo will be delivered to the republic by  Russian Aerospace Forces," Moscow added.

It is also reported that Russian diplomats led by Ambassador Sergei  Kopyrkin will visit the Syunik region next week to identify immediate  needs with regional authorities. This work will continue in other  regions as well where there are displaced people.
