A plane with 24 Armenian nationals on board left Krasnodar airport for
Yerevan on 21 May. The Armenian nationals were deported on charges of
illegal residence and absence of work permit.

The head of the airport’s migration control department, Aleksandr
Linnik, said that prior to official deportation all illegal migrants
had been declared persona non grata. This means that they are
prohibited from entering Russia’s territory for five years.
