YEREVAN. - Young Diaspora Armenians, who arrived Armenia for
participation in Summer School of Young Leaders of Diaspora
program, expressed their dissatisfied with monopolistic positions
of Armenian local airlines and consequent high prices for flights
to Armenia. They expressed their discontent to Youth subcommittee of
Armenian Presidential public Council on Wednesday.
According to young people from abroad, many Armenians from the
Diaspora cannot afford travelling to Armenia for participation in
various programs due to high ticket prices.
They noted that many Armenian citizens themselves prefer to spend
their holidays in other countries because it is much more convenient
in financial sense than even buying a ticket to Armenia.
This question worried especially the young people from Armenian
communities of Netherlands and Ukraine.
In this regard, the representative of Ukraine said that it is much
cheaper to get a ticket to Georgia and find some means of reaching
Armenia from there than to buy a Kiev-Yerevan ticket.
