June 1, International Children’s Day, is another occasion to remind ourselves that children are the greatest treasure of our people and the hope of tomorrow.
They are the future of our country, the bearers of our history, language, and culture, and the continuers of our national memory and values. Every child’s smile inspires confidence, and their dreams and aspirations shape tomorrow’s Armenia.
Happy International Children’s Day. May all children grow up surrounded by love, peace, and care, preserving their roots and building a bright future.
- Alarm Declared on the Euphrates: Syria Faces Large-Scale Flooding Due to Water Releases from Turkish-Occupied Western Armenia
An unprecedented rise in the water level of the Euphrates has been recorded due to large-scale water releases from Turkish-occupied Western Armenia and heavy rainfall. Syrian authorities have declared a state of emergency preparedness in the provinces of Deir ez-Zor, Raqqa, and Aleppo.
As a result of the flooding, bridges, agricultural lands, and residential houses have been damaged. Water levels in the country’s reservoirs have approached dangerous limits, which is why water releases through the Euphrates dam are continuing.
The Syrian side links the situation to the increased water flow coming from Turkish-occupied Western Armenia, while Turkish sources state that controlled water releases were carried out at the Atatürk Dam due to rising reservoir levels.
