    EXPERT: ARMENIANS' VISITS TO HISTORIC SITES HELP BOOST ANKARA'S INTEREST

    March 5, 2013 - 17:13 AMT

    PanARMENIAN.Net - Armenian -Turkish cultural contacts yield
    positive results in the interstate relations, creating atmosphere
    of cooperation, founder of Narekavank Tour LLC, turkologist Armen
    Hovhannisyan said.

    "The larger is the flow of Armenian tourists in the historic
    homeland, the greater attention Ankara attaches to those areas,"
    he said, citing restoration of Armenian monuments behind the growth
    of Armenian pilgrims.

    "In the light of growing tourist flows, local authorities of Van
    stressed the need to hold a discussion on plans that would further
    boost the influx," the expert said.

    Director of Narekavank Tour Ashot Soghomonyan, in turn, noted
    development of tourism industry as Turkish government's sole goal in
    this respect.

    A direct Yerevan-Van flight will become available through the efforts
    of Narekavan Tour travel agency founders.

    As the agency director Armen Hovhannisyan told journalists, the first
    flight was scheduled for April 3.

    The flight will be operating on Wednesdays and Sundays jointly with
    Borajet Turkish company. The ticket for a 40-minute trip is priced
    at $250, with a 20% discount offered for April flights.

    According to Hovhannisyan, the flight will increase the already
    significant tourist inflow to Van to boost business ties between
    Armenia and Turkey.
