Spokeswoman for the Minister of Health Alina Nikoghosyan clarified the statement, which reads:

“Yesterday I was busy all day denying the news about the resignation of the Minister of Health Arsen Torosyan. But, here and there, some media outlets do not rest, “one after the other” spreads more “advanced” lies.

First of all, let’s start with the fact that the coronavirus situation in Armenia remains stable, the cases have started to decrease a little and the situation is completely under control.

The Minister has been working at 24/7 regime for the last six months, he can use his available annual leave. Let me add that he will be in Armenia.

Arsen Torosyan has not submitted a resignation letter and is not going to do so. After the end of the vacation, the minister will return to normal work.”
