YEREVAN. – Armenian Minister called not to underestimate the danger of Ebola simply only because Armenia is far from Africa.

Economy Minister Karen Chshmarityan said the Ebola epidemic was one of the issues discussed during the annual meeting of World Bank and IMF, although at first glance the topic is not directly linked to international finance and economic growth.

“Let's not forget that country's prosperity depends on healthcare. So, we should not turn everything into a joke and think that it will go away,” the Minister told reporters.
