  Armenia delivers aid to Turkey through land border February 11, 2023 - 12:01 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Armenian trucks loaded with humanitarian aid crossed the land border to Turkey to deliver essentials to people in earthquake-stricken areas, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Vahan Hunanyan said on Saturday, February 11. The land border between Armenia and Turkey has been closed since April 1993. However, in July 2022 the Turkish Ministry for Foreign Affairs announced that the two countries plan to reopen the border "at the earliest possible date", albeit only for third party nationals. “Today Armenia has sent humanitarian aid to Turkey, Hunanyan tweeted. “Trucks with humanitarian aid have crossed the Margara bridge on the border and are on their way to the earthquake-stricken region.” International aid was trickling into parts of Turkey and Syria on Saturday where rescuers toiled to pull children from rubble in areas devastated by a massive earthquake that has killed over 24,000 people, France 24 says.
