YEREVAN, JANUARY 27, ARMENPRESS. Armenia and Russia are resuming regular bilateral air communication from February 1, Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said at the Cabinet meeting.

The flights are restarting as part of the “I am Traveling Without Covid-19” program, around which the governments of Armenia and Russia have adopted decisions.

Travelers must have a negative COVID-19 test result administered no more than 72 hours prior to the flight.

This is a pilot program which is originally planned for a month. Pashinyan said he hopes it will be a success and the program will be fully launched from March.

“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
