PanARMENIAN.Net – Russian-Armenian epidemiologist Arpik Asratyan died in a Moscow medical center Friday, March 27.

Asatryan, who previously worked as a professor in the Department of Epidemiology of the Institute of Professional Education at Sechenov University, had been diagnosed with coronavirus.

The 69-year-old woman was hospitalized from her apartment on March 23, but doctors tested her for Covid-19 only hours before her death, Moskovskij Komsomolets reports.

Health professionals are now working to find out whether the coronavirus was the cause of her death. According to preliminary information, the woman did not travel abroad and had no contact with a coronavirus case in the recent past.

Asratyan was a doctor of medical sciences, a prominent voice in the treatment of viral hepatitis.

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
