Armenians give a helping hand to Haiti

      It has been three weeks since Haiti was struck with a devastating earthquake, killing nearly 200,000 people.  Shortly after the news about the earthquake reached Armenia, the Armenian Rescue Service decided to help and send out a strong team of helpers, search dogs and special equipment to Haiti.  However, a few days after the announcement, Armenian Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan said, “Unfortunately we could not carry out the mission because Haiti was not prepared to receive the team and there were numerous problems with logistics and aid coordination… International structures told us that there are problems with physically shipping things and that financial assistance would be more expedient.”

I think it's a good cause and mission for Armenia to help Haiti.  Haiti helped Armenia during the time of it's earthquake back in 1988, so it's nice of Armenia to give back.
