The Ministry of Economy is against the draft submitted by the Ministry of Health to extend the COVID-19 quarantine for another six months in Armenia. The Minister of Economy, Vahan Kerobyan, stated about this in an interview with the Public Television.
 
"In fact, the spokesperson of the Ministry of Health hurried a bit because that decision was not discussed with the Ministry of Economy. It is a proposal that we will discuss and will agree with some points of the proposal only in case of very weighty arguments. But the fact that the economy [of Armenia] now needs the most 'oxygen' is unequivocal, and we must do everything to make the economy work as openly as possible," the minister said.
 
Kerobyan added that the Ministry of Economy was going to come up with a law initiative this month to reduce the days of New Year's holidays next year.
 
As reported earlier, the quarantine in Armenia will be extended for another six months amid the COVID-19 pandemic situation, the health ministry's spokesperson Alina Nikoghosyan had noted.

“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
