In the coming days Armenia will start testing 1,000 people daily, Armenia’s Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said live on Facebook.

“Today we make about 400 tests daily, and have put an issue starting from this week, the latest from Friday test 1,000 people a day. This is why we are currently acquiring 70,000 tests,” Pashinyan said.

He stressed that issue on starting local production of tests is being currently discussed with one of the scientific institutes in Armenia.

“We are allocating $550,000 to the Institute of Molecular Biology for organizing production of tests. The specialists convinced that it will be a success, and we will manage to organize the production of these tests,” the PM said.

“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
