YEREVAN. – There are no masks in Armenia’s pharmacies because of some panic. Narek Zeynalyan, Chairman of the National Assembly Standing Committee on Health Care and Social Affairs, stated this in a conversation with journalists today in parliament.

According to him, the situation in Armenia regarding the coronavirus should be taken quite seriously, but the resultant panic in the country is more serious and may have wrong consequences.

Asked if the possibility of postponing the constitutional referendum campaign is being discussed, as this campaign envisages mass events, Zeynalyan responded: "It depends on a change in the situation as what changes we will have within this week."

He added that now steps are being taken in connection with the campaign. "The situation is under control with regard to the coronavirus," he added, in particular.

“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
