In an interview with Orer Armenian magazine, which publishes in the Czech Republic, Ambassador of Armenia to the Czech Republic Ashot Hovakimyan said more than a dozen citizens of Armenia have addressed the Embassy of Armenia with the request for support to leave for Armenia, most of them have returned, some haven’t expressed the desire to return, and the return of citizens of Armenia in Serbia is difficult due to the closure of aerial and terrestrial roads in the country.

He added that the Embassy of Armenia in the Czech Republic has regularly posted information on the situation in countries to which Armenia is accredited, as well as in Armenia and has urged them to register at the Embassy.

Hovakimyan also said more than two dozens of Armenians have addressed the Embassy, including from Serbia and Croatia. When asked the regime under which the Embassy is working and what support citizens of Armenia who haven’t been able to leave for the homeland can expect, Hovakimyan said the Embassy works every day and with shifts. He said the Embassy is listing all the citizens who have addressed the Embassy and is in touch with them.

Touching upon the cases of COVID-19, the Ambassador emphasized that the Embassy is constantly in touch with the authorities of accredited countries and community organizations, but they still haven’t provided any information about coronavirus cases, hospitalization or death cases. He added that the Embassy is carrying out activities for Armenians in not only the Czech Republic, but also other countries of accreditation, including Serbia, Croatia, Slovenia and Montenegro.
