Armenia expresses solidarity with people of Greece over wildfires

YEREVAN, August 5, /ARKA/. The Armenian Foreign Ministry expressed solidarity with the people of Greece in connection with the wildfires raging in this country.

'Deeply saddened by news of devastating wildfires that broke out across Greece. We express solidarity and deep sympathies with the brotherly people of Greece in these troubling times,' the ministry said in a tweet.

According to news reports from Greece, forest fires fuelled by a protracted heat wave raged overnight and into Thursday, threatening the archaeological site at the birthplace of the modern Olympics and forcing the evacuation of dozens of villages.

More than 100 wildfires broke out over 24 hours from late Tuesday to late Wednesday, authorities said. Temperatures in Greece reached 45 degrees Celsius on Wednesday, in what authorities described as the worst heat wave since 1987. The causes of the Greek wildfires were unclear, but authorities say human error and carelessness are most frequently to blame. -0-
