ANKARA, Turkey — Armenian trucks crossed into Turkey for the first time in almost 30 years to deliver humanitarian aid to survivors following a pair of disastrous earthquakes this week.
It was the first time since 1993 that vehicles had transited the Armenian-Turkish border, Armenian diplomat Tigran Balayan said on Twitter.
The move was hastened by the situation following the devastating quakes, yet it followed recent normalization steps between the two countries aimed at ending years of tension.
