YEREVAN.- A group of African illegal migrants has settled at Yerevan's
Zvartnots airport.
They have been living at the airport for a week claiming Armenia is
a transit country to leave for Moldova.
The Armenian News-NEWS.am correspondent reported that eleven men,
citizens of Côte d'Ivoire, arrived in Yerevan by flight coming from
Dubai. They claim that they planned to go to Moldova for a qualifying
football match.
During the first days of their visit Africans said they had money to
buy a ticket, even claimed they had $2 million. Later it was disclosed
they had neither money nor a ticket.
An investigation of Yerevan airport's employees proved that of Côte
d'Ivoire citizens had already tried to leave for a European state
from Saint Petersburg airport.
It is still unclear how long they would stay at the airport. The
representatives of the airport refused to comment on the situation.
They say it is not the first time that Armenia is used as a transit
country to illegally enter European states.
