The Human Rights Defender of Armenia talked to the Minister of Healthcare and the Minister of Education, Science, Culture and Sport about the coronavirus yesterday and today, reports the Public Relations Department of the Office of the Human Rights Defender of Armenia.

The Human Rights Defender welcomes the decision to temporarily suspend classes at educational institutions, discussed the matter with Minister of Education, Science, Culture and Sport Arayik Harutyunyan this morning and expressed his positive stance.

In addition, now it is very important to follow the news from official courses and trust the specialists. State bodies must often provide the public with information that will be as detailed as possible.

The Human Rights Defender believes the relevant authorities have no intention to conceal any information from the public, and this is a good thing. Misinformation needs to be refuted immediately.

People don’t need to panic and have to follow the rules for prevention of coronavirus.

The Human Rights Defender is focused on all the issues in order to take all the necessary measures within its competence.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
