To prevent the spread of coronavirus Armenia will stop communication with Iran for two weeks, Armenia’s Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan wrote on Facebook.

Armenia will make a decision at the extraordinary government sitting on closing border with Iran for two weeks.

“In particular Iran-Armenia air communication and entrance of people from Meghri border check-point will be stopped,” he wrote, adding that Monday morning the special commission will convene session to discuss the further steps.

Armenia’s PM urged not to spread panic, stressing that it will not do any good.


Emil Lazarian: “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
