A few days ago the Armenian Government had already allocated 47 million AMD for returning 119 Armenian citzens from Egypt. The two flights took place on July 26 and 29.

132 Armenian citizens were left in Hurghada due to the cancellation of OTF 3703 flight en route Hurghada-Yerevan. According to some reports, the flight was cancelled because the Armenian A&R tour agency didn’t pay the Greek Orange Fly airline to carry out the flight.
