YEREVAN, MAY 6, ARMENPRESS. The government budget’s tax revenues in Q1 2020 have been over-performed by 8,9 billion drams, while a 20 billion over-performance was forecast if the coronavirus situation were not to happen, PM Nikol Pashinyan said in parliament.

“On March 13th, we fully entered a crisis phase with all its parameters, and despite this the 2020 first quarter tax revenues were over-performed by 8,9 billion drams,” Pashinyan said.

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
