Many citizens fail to comply with anti-epidemic rules, Armenia’s Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said at a briefing today, stressing that information is being circulated that the administrative fines against citizens applied till now will be annulled.

“These hopes are in vain. The administrative fines for not complying with the anti-epidemic rules will not be annulled. They must be paid, though, I repeat that our issue is not to fine but to make people obey the rules,” he said.

He also said that police officers in civilian wearing will be engaged in the oversight works. He said they will not fine the people who violated the rules but we call the police officers nearby.
