YEREVAN. – Viktor Yengibaryan, a member of the majority My Step faction of the National Assembly (NA) of Armenia, has dismissed the reports that he had participated in the NA sittings despite knowing that he was infected with the coronavirus.

"A website representing itself as media has disseminated false testimony that I found out about being infected with Covid-19 earlier than I have announced and have participated in the NA sittings while being infected.

I urge the source to immediately disseminate a refutation, and urge the others not to disseminate information that contains fabrication and features of apparent false testimony. 

P.S.: As I have already mentioned, the first symptoms [of the coronavirus] appeared in me on the evening of June 22, I took the test on the 23rd, and since then I have self-isolated,” Yengibaryan wrote, in particular, on Facebook.
