The expectations that banks would strictly observe anti-epidemic measures were not met. This is what Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan said in response to deputies’ questions during a special session of the National Assembly today.
According to the Prime Minister, in essence, with this, the government contributed to the spread of the coronavirus.
“People are constantly criticizing the government, bringing examples of the practice of other countries that have reported fewer coronavirus cases. However, those countries didn’t provide support to their citizens, and Armenia could have done the same, but it didn’t. I believe we need to make the transition to new technologies and reduce the use of cash and introduce digital programs,” Pashinyan declared.
