ARMENIAN PARLIAMENT RATIFIES AGREEMENT TO OPEN FLIGHTS TO KUWAIT
YEREVAN, February 7. /ARKA/. On Thursday, Armenian National Assembly
ratified an agreement signed by Armenian and Kuwaiti governments to
open flights between the countries.
Artem Movsisyan, chief of Armenia's Civil Aviation Department, the
agreement lays legal ground for operating flights from Kuwait to
Armenia and from Armenia to Kuwait.
The two countries' national air companies Armavia and Kuwait Airways,
however, have not reached an accord yet after negotiating for more
than two years.
The thing is that Kuwait's national air company wants not only
to operate flights to Armenia, but also from Yerevan to some other
destinations, particularly to Russia, Ukraine, Turkey, Syria, Lebanon
and Iran.
"But Armenia's national air carrier's interests should be secured
as well," Movsisyan said. "We have agreed to permit Kuwait Airways
to operate flights only to some destinations, but have received no
response from the Kuwaiti side so far." -0-
