The Embassy has also contacted the China Migration Service, which conducts a separate check of foreign nationals living in the country. Therefore, we can say that no Armenian citizen living in China has become inflamed with the coronavirus,” the ambassador said.

This procedure will be a little illogical.
“Flights are basically advertising in nature. Here, I would like to say that Armenian citizens who live temporarily in China are represented in almost every province, so we will also have to take into account the technical difficulty of bringing them all together,” he added. Said.
