PM

Nikol Pashinyan could not leave Armenia due to the COVID-19 situation in the country.

He has earlier sent a letter to Russia’s President Vladimir Putin and noted: “Dear Mr. President, I regret to inform you that I will not be able to attend the events dedicated to the 75th anniversary of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War. As you know, I had very gladly accepted your invitation to attend the solemn ceremonies, but, as it turned out later, the coronavirus situation does not allow me to take the trip.”
