Police are guarding the road leading to Golden Palace Hotel in Tsaghkadzor where 32 citizens of Armenia are currently isolated, as reported Armenian News-NEWS.am today.

According to Armenian News-NEWS.am’s correspondent, entry and exit are only permitted by police officers.

Journalists met a citizen who was exiting the hotel and had brought drugs to the hotel. “I’m a security officer and can’t say what kind of drugs they are and how much I have brought,” the security officer said, adding that he was greeted by employees who were wearing face masks and who took the drugs from him.

When asked why he wasn’t wearing a face mask, he said he had worn a face mask inside the hotel, but had taken it off after exiting the hotel since he was told that there was no reason for panic at the moment.
