KORNIDZOR, AUGUST 30, ARMENPRESS. Armenian authorities have opened a humanitarian headquarters in the village of Kornidzor near the entrance to the Lachin Corridor as a venue for foreign journalists and guests who are visiting the area as part of joining the humanitarian aid.

Vardan Sargsyan, a member of the Armenian government’s humanitarian crisis response group for Nagorno-Karabakh, told reporters that the French humanitarian convoy led by the Mayor of Paris has already arrived to the border area and the Russian peacekeepers are aware of the arrival.
