The Armavia Armenian Airline said on Friday it has no debts to Russian
air traffic controllers.

"The airline has fully met financial commitments to the Russian State
Air Traffic Control Corporation," Armavia Deputy General Director
Rafael Avstikyan told Itar-Tass. "All the technical problems have been
smoothed over. Our planes flied, are flying and will fly to Russia."

The Russian State Air Traffic Control Corporation said earlier in the
day that it would stop giving aero-navigation services to Armavia
in the Russian skies starting from August 14, because of the debt
nearing $800,000.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
