Panorama.am asked Marina Harutyunyan, of the Ministry of Healthcare,
whether the Ministry could not supervise the situation and announce
about it earlier. M. Harutyunyan said that the Ministry of Healthcare
of Russia should have informed its Armenian counterpart, but they
have not done earlier, hence the Ministry of Healthcare of Armenia
could not have such information earlier.
