Armenia is preparing for a significant expansion of the international route network. One of the main events is the launch of Yerevan-London-Yerevan direct air traffic, as well as the opening of new flights to Kazakhstan and European countries, which promises a new increase in passenger traffic.

Minister of Territorial Administration and Infrastructure during the Government session held on April 23 Davit Khudatyan presented the strategic development plans of the civil aviation sector. The previous year has already recorded impressive dynamics. 47-48 airlines made flights from Armenia to about 70 destinations.

Due to this, the passenger flow of “Zvartnots” International Airport exceeded five million, and the route network was supplemented with ten new destinations.

This trend will gain momentum this year. Long-term negotiations with Kazakh partners have been successful. At once, several air carriers announced direct flights to Kazakhstan, tickets for which are already on sale. In parallel, the European vector is being activated. new airlines are expected to enter and increase the frequency of flights to Brussels and the Netherlands. However, the main news of the sector is the start of Yerevan-London-Yerevan direct air traffic.

Along with the increase in the workload of the capital’s airport, the authorities plan to use the possibilities of Gyumri’s “Shirak” airport to a greater extent. The modernization of infrastructures, in particular, the operation of new sections of the “North-South” road, greatly contributes to this.

According to the minister’s assessment, thanks to the improvement of logistics, getting from Yerevan to Gyumri airport in some hours is faster than the trip to “Zvartnots”. This creates additional grounds and prospects for negotiating with new airlines and decentralizing the country’s air traffic.

Those problems require clear and systematic solutions. Unfortunately, the peasant today often remains alone in the struggle against his difficulties.

Regional visits are an opportunity not only to hear about problems, but also to build a bridge of trust with people. In that warm atmosphere, it is more clearly felt how important it is to listen to each other, understand and find solutions together.

Our path is clear: national unity, internal solidarity and mutual respect.

The head of the government noted that such delicate topics require exceptional prudence, describing them as a “double-edged sword”.

The “Independent Observer” alliance has found alleged violations in the activities of the “My Step” fund in recent months and is applying to the Administrative Court, demanding 15 episodes of administrative liability against Anna Hakobyan, the head of the executive body of the fund. This was written by Daniel Ioannisyan, the founder of “Union of Informed Citizens” NGO.

“The alliance considers the concerts in Gyumri on April 19 and Yerevan on April 23 as a propaganda event of the CP. their expenditure had to be made in accordance with the Law on Parties. However, the financing of those concerts does not fit within the limitations of that law. We submit an application to the Corruption Prevention Commission with the request to give a legal assessment to the mentioned.

The alliance considers that the April 23 torchlight procession is also an event of the ARF (Armenia) party, and its financing must also comply with the regulations of the parties’ legislation. In this regard, we are also studying the facts so that, perhaps, we can turn to the Central Intelligence Agency,” he wrote.

RA Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan has stated that in order to avoid a new war, Armenia should abandon the path of endless mutual accusations of war crimes with Azerbaijan. Ahead of the upcoming elections, the government intends to form a new political discourse, which will be aimed at getting the state out of the decades-long chain of enmity.

In a briefing with journalists after the government session Nikol Pashinyan commented on the issue of holding the Azerbaijani side accountable for the crimes committed in the sovereign territory of Armenia. The head of the executive acknowledged the indisputability of the facts of shooting and brutal torture of prisoners of war, but emphasized that focusing exclusively on mutual accusations leads the situation to a dead end. According to him, continuing this conversation means standing on a path where a new armed conflict becomes inevitable.

The politician called on the public to look at the history of the conflict comprehensively, comparing the process to the need to read the whole page of the book, and not just the appropriate part of it. In response to the journalists’ observation that the brutality of the sides during the military operations was incomparable, the Prime Minister noted that accusations are being made by both sides, and for the sake of the welfare of future generations, the state must break this vicious circle. He also warned the citizens not to give in to the patriotic speeches and emotional reactions of some international actors.

The formation of a new narrative aimed at the final resolution of the conflict will be the main strategic task of the authorities during the month and a half remaining before the elections. It should be recalled that during the large-scale escalation on September 13, 2022, when Azerbaijani forces attacked the border regions of Armenia, more than 200 people, including civilians, were killed.

Some territories came under the control of Baku, and international organizations recorded shocking facts of brutal treatment of Armenian prisoners, including female servicemen, sexual violence and murders.
