Russian Ambassador familiarizes himself with Russian-Armenian  Humanitarian Response Center`s activities

ArmInfo.  As part of the Russian EMERCOM delegation's visit to Armenia, led by Deputy Minister Vyacheslav Butko, Russian Ambassador Sergey Kopyrkin familiarized himself with the work of the Russian-Armenian Center of Humanitarian Response (RACHR).

The Russian delegation watched as rescuers from the two countries  participated in joint exercises,  focused on responding to accidents  at  chemically hazardous sites and oil industry facilities, as well  as evacuating victims, using specialized machinery and equipment.  Experts from Russia and Armenia commended the Center's staff  qualifications, the training system, and the logistical support for  successfully honing the practical skills of firefighters and  rescuers.

"I am impressed by the Center's unique infrastructure. It has all the  necessary conditions in place for the training and professional  development of rescuers and medical personnel to respond effectively  in various situations," the Ambassador noted.

The RACHR was established in 2015 to provide humanitarian assistance  during emergencies in Armenia and other countries. To date, the  Center has successfully carried out several humanitarian aid and  emergency response operations in Armenia, Syria, and Iran.
