Since we do not have a state, I would like to inform the citizens of the Republic of Armenia that 14 transgenders arriving from Cuba are HIV carriers. This information is obtained from official sources; you can spread it. In total, there are 16, of which 14 are HIV carriers. Moreover, one of them worked at a bakery.”
