Problem Statement

We'll call a positive integer "almost prime", if it is not divisible by any prime from the interval [3,19][3,19]. We'll call a number "very non-prime", if it has at least 2 primes from interval [3,19][3,19] dividing it. What is the greatest amount of almost prime numbers can be selected, such that the sum of any two of them is a very non-prime number?
