Some even get surprised that we’ve come from Armenia, and in that case they say thank you twice. I can say that our work was flawless, because we were able to effectively work together with the rescuers from other countries,” Captain Gevorgyan said.

Captain Gevorgyan said his team saved lives from under the rubble. He added that they’ve also recovered bodies from the rubble.
