ArmInfo.Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Anna Naghdalyan commented on the news about nine Armenian students who cannot return to Armenia from Israel due to the  situation with coronavirus.

''On March 23, 9 students - citizens of the Republic of Armenia, who  at that time had problems with living and returning to Armenia due to  the closure of the school, contacted the Armenian Embassy in Israel  and the Foreign Ministry. They were provided on the spot with all  necessary living conditions, and the embassy purchased airline  tickets for them to Armenia and provided transportation to the  airport. However, due to restrictions and cancellation of flights  introduced by the Government of Israel in the fight against a new  type of coronavirus, the process of their return to Armenia was  postponed. The embassy is in constant contact with students, and  steps are periodically taken to find on-site solutions to all  existing problems.

The problems of Armenian citizens who are currently abroad are  comprehensive. The diplomatic missions, the Ministry of Foreign  Affairs and the Commandant's Office of Armenia have full information  about the problems of our citizens in more than 50 countries. The  diplomatic missions of Armenia abroad, around the clock and in an  overloaded mode, are working towards solving these problems under the  conditions applied by various countries and daily changing  restrictions.

In the case of each individual country, the form and amount of  support is determined taking into account the aspect of health  security, available opportunities and the specific situation.

We urge all interested parties to resist the temptation to create  excitement around a particular case in the narrow interests. The  situation requires civil liability and a serious attitude on the part  of everyone>, Naghdalyan's statement reads.
