Armenian Minister of Emergency Situations Armen Yeritsyan has praised
the professionalism of rescuers who involved in recent operations in
Yerevan and the Syunik province.
Rescue teams of the Ministry of Emergency Situations (MES) participated
in the efforts on a construction site in downtown Yerevan where 11
people were trapped after a building collapse on Thursday.
Several of the constructors received grave injuries, but no one was
killed in that accident.
Rescuers also worked on Sunday in the Syunik province of Armenia
evacuating passengers of an aerial tramway in Halidzor that stopped
18 meters above the gorge as a consequence of bad weather. It took
rescuers about four hours to evacuate all 41 passengers from the two
cableway cars. Rescuers were also involved in another accident in
which an elevator fell down the shaft in a newly constructed building
in Yerevan killing two and injuring one person.
According to the MES's official website, speaking at a regular meeting
with leading representatives of the Ministry on Monday Minister
Yeritsyan said: "The quick response and high professionalism of our
rescuers helped save numerous human lives."
