Armenian Foreign Ministry does not plan to evacuate Armenian citizens
from Japan, Spokesman for Armenian Foreign Office Tigran Balayan told
Armenian News-NEWS.am.
Balayan stressed the Armenian citizens are far from the affected zone
in Japan. According to the recent information, 30 Armenian citizens in
Japan were not affected by the massive quake.
As Armenian News-NEWS.am reported earlier, on March 11, the biggest
earthquake (8.9 magnitude) in the recent years hit the northeast of
Japan, triggering a 10-meter tsunami and followed by several powerful
aftershocks. The epicenter is located 373 to north-east from Japan's
capital, Tokyo at the depth of 24 kilometers.
At least 1000 people were killed. There is a growing risk of a
significant radiation leakage at a Japanese nuclear power plant.
