    KOCHARIAN CONDOLES VICTIMS OF IRANIAN EARTHQUAKE

    YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 23, ARMENPRESS: Armenian president Robert
    Kocharian sent a message of condolences to his Iranian counterpart
    Mohammad Khatami to convey his sympathies in connection with the
    devastating earthquake that hit the country's south-eastern parts.
    "I learned about the earthquake that took lives of hundreds of
    people with great pain. I offer on behalf of Armenians and myself our
    condolences to you and the friendly people of Iran," Kocharian's
    message reads.
    An earthquake measuring 6.4 on the Richter scale hit southeastern
    Iran at 05:55 hours local time (0225 GMT) on Tuesday, killing,
    according to the latest reports, about 700 people and injuring
    thousands of others.
    A killer earthquake with a magnitude of 6.7 on the Richter scale
    flattened the historical city of Bam in the same province on December
    26, 2003, killing over 30,000 people and injuring thousands more.
