Today is the 20th anniversary of the Chernobyl disaster.
"Armenpress" was told at the Ukrainian Embassy in Armenia that more
than 145 sq. km. of Ukrainian, Russian and Belarusian territory
was radioactively polluted; over 5 million people suffered from
the disaster, about 5 thousand settlements were subject to nuclide
contamination. 20 years after the disaster a number of issues are
still awaiting settlement.
Ukraine will always remember the courage of more than 3 thousand
Armenians, who did their best to soften the results of the Chernobyl
disaster. Later 400 of these died because of radiation.
