Hovsep Khurshudyan, President of the Free Citizens’ Initiative Support Center, wrote on his Facebook page:

“Dear authorities, especially the Ministry of Health, if you want to hold a referendum on 5 April, I am not talking about prolonging the normal course of economic and public life of the country as much as possible. It is necessary to make stricter the health surveillance of the those who enter the country by moving them to special isolation areas for a two-week quarantine.

Especially those from the countries of the spread of the epidemic – Italy, Iran, China, Russia, France. We are still in the prevention phase.

Do not make the mistake of Iran, which for a long time did not see the risks of spreading the infection. Russia is doing the same now, which will have grave consequences for that country.

And if you do not wake up, be prepared not only to postpone the referendum, but also to shut down schools and institutions in just 15-20 days, to cut the economy in half, as China did,” he said.
