Yerevan — Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan announced his decision to forgo the informal CIS leaders’ summit in St. Petersburg on December 25 after being diagnosed with COVID-19 a few days ago.
In a Facebook post, the Armenian Prime Minister shared that he tested positive for COVID-19 on December 23 and subsequently spent two days in self-isolation, working from home. Although his test returned negative on December 25, consultations with colleagues led to the decision to refrain from attending today’s CIS summit.
As for the upcoming session of the Supreme Eurasian Economic Council, scheduled for December 26, Pashinyan stated that a decision regarding his participation will be made by the end of the day.
