YEREVAN, MARCH 1, ARMENPRESS. In an apparent effort to dismiss the unsubstantiated panic and purported hotel booking cancellations in the town of Tsakhakdzor, the Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan announced that he and his family are heading to the resort town to spend the night there at a local hotel.

Earlier today, 31 direct contacts of the first novel coronavirus case in Armenia were quarantined at a defunct hotel in Tsakhkadzor.

Shortly after the news, PM Pashinyan said he receives information that some visitors and tourists to the town are cancelling their hotel bookings. He dismissed the concerns and said that the quarantine doesn’t anyhow affect the town’s life. He called on the general public to refrain from panicking or spreading disinformation.

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
