Armenia’s Human Rights Defender Arman Tatoyan has addressed citizens with a message, calling on them to fight against the spread of the coronavirus pandemic together. The message reads as follows:

“Dear compatriots, we all need to be united as one to overcome the novel coronavirus pandemic as soon as possible.

Let us work together and show responsibility for following the rules to fight against this virus for the sake of our children, parents and siblings and get back to normal as soon as possible.

I am certain that the sooner we come together, the faster we will pass this test.

Throughout history, we Armenians have succeeded in showing our unity and overcoming the seemingly invincible situations several times. There are many days of the year that are memorable for us, and it is up to each and every one of us to add another memorable day to the calendar.

Let us all follow the rules to prevent the spread of the virus, take care of each other and save lives!”
