YEREVAN, JUNE 24, ARMENPRESS. Lawmaker from the ruling My Step faction of the Armenian Parliament Kristine Poghosyan has been infected with the novel coronavirus.

The lawmaker told Armenpress that she received the test result on June 23.

“The test result was positive. I don’t know how I got infected, I am very sad for that because I followed all the rules. I went to work to the Parliament, returned back home, wore a face mask, had disinfectants, didn’t contact anyone there, I have been in my office, and I don’t know from where I contracted the virus”, she said.

Earlier today another MP from the My Step faction Viktor Yengibaryan announced that he has also tested positive for coronavirus.

On June 23 Vice Speaker of Parliament Vahe Enfiajyan announced that he has also been infected with COVID-19.

“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
