Armenia has sent humanitarian aid to Turkey across the closed border.

The trucks crossed the Margara Bridge on the border, which had been closed between Armenia and Turkey for 35 years. Ankara Special Representative Serdar Kylych thanked Yerevan for the assistance rendered to the victims of the earthquake by his fellow citizens.
In total, Armenia sent more than 100 tons of food, medicine, water and dozens of rescuers. According to experts, the open Armenian-Turkish border will not be closed. Its release was planned by the talks, the earthquake only accelerated the process. Let us recall that both countries are in a tense relationship due to the fact that Turkey supports Azerbaijan in the Karabakh conflict. 
The number of people killed in earthquakes in Turkey rose to 22,327, and 80,278 were injured, the Ministry of Health said. UN Humanitarian Deputy Secretary Martin Griffiths predicts that the number of casualties in Syria and Turkey will exceed 40,000.
