Employed citizens who haven’t been vaccinated will be required to produce a negative PCR test result for COVID-19 every seven days. The presently active regulation, which came into effect October 1, requires them to do so every 14 days otherwise face termination.

“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
