Pashinyan said live on Facebook on Tuesday, June 23 that the country should avoid imposing a lockdown again at all costs and urged to strictly follow anti-epidemiological rules.
“There is a certain decrease in the number [of coronavirus cases] during lockdown, but it could take a decade to recover from an economic collapse,” the Prime Minister said.
Pashinyan said he hopes all the other jobs will be restored in June.
