PanARMENIAN.Net - Flyone Armenia has submitted an application to Armenia's Civil Aviation Committee to launch Yerevan-Istanbul flights, according to Sona Harutyunyan, the press secretary of the Ministry of Territorial Administration and Infrastructures.

"On December 23, the Civil Aviation Committee received an application from the Armenian carrier to operate flights to Istanbul three times a week. The Committee is studying the application and will respond within a reasonable period," she said on Friday, December 24, Sputnik Armenia reports.

Harutyunyan noted that if Flyone Armenia's application meets the established criteria, it will be approved and the airline will be able to launch the flights. Given that there are no diplomatic relations between Yerevan and Ankara, no aviation agreements have been signed either, which means the flights are going to chartered.

The spokesperson added that Turkish airlines have not applied to the Armenian aviation authorities as of now.

Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said in mid-December that Turkey and Armenia will mutually appoint special envoys to discuss steps to normalize ties, and added they will also restart charter flights between Istanbul and Yerevan.

Emil Lazarian: “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
