Armenian Parliament Speaker Hovik Abrahamyan addressed a letter of
condolence to President of the House of Councilors Takeo Nishioka and
Speaker of the House of Representatives Takahiro Yokomichi.
In his letter the Armenian Speaker offered his sincere condolences to
the Japanese people on the numerous victims and damage caused by the
earthquake.
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.
Thirty Armenian citizens were not affected, Spokesman for Armenian
Foreign Ministry Tigran Balayan told.
