“We strongly condemn the actions taking place in the Lachin Corridor and on the Armenian border. Targeting of medical workers is unacceptable,” said representatives of the World Health Organization during the meeting held at the Ministry of Health of Armenia. At the meeting with Minister Anahit Avanesyan, the WTO delegation also stated that it is ready to use all diplomatic levers to condemn similar actions.
Anahit Avanesyan thanked WHO regional director Hans Kluge for his personal involvement in the settlement of the problem.
Marthe Everard, special representative of the WHO regional director in Armenia, led the delegation.
Issues related to deepening the cooperation between Armenia and WHO, providing technical support to the primary health care sector, quality assurance reforms before the 76th World Health Assembly were discussed at the meeting.
The appointment of the WTO representative, as well as the Anahit Avanesyan-Hans Kluge meeting within the framework of the upcoming assembly, will contribute to the activation of cooperation.
