YEREVAN. – Armenia’s pharmaceutical manufactories and productions will shut down for not receiving the Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) Certificate.    

Distinguished pharmacist Vigen Topuzyan noted the aforementioned during a press conference on Wednesday. 

In his words, the Scientific Centre of Drug and Medical Technology Expertise refuses to issue GMP certificates to Armenian pharmaceutical companies, and on groundless arguments.  

In addition, as per Topuzyan, there is no necessary normative base to be issued this certificate.

“If it is a new game, put the rules on the table, so we may get used [to it]. Where are the rules? I am not obligated to seek German, Latin, or French rules; put [them] on my table in Armenian!” Vigen Topuzyan stated.
