YEREVAN. - In line with preliminary unofficial assessments, the number
of Iranians that came to Armenia to celebrate their Nowruz (New Year;
on Thursday, March 21) holidays in the country is almost twice less
than the same indicators last year, Haykakan Zhamanak daily reports.
`In an interview with us, private individuals that provide services to
Iranian tourists presented such assessments.
Accordingly, in the case when private carriers were demanding $200
last year to bring the Iranian tourists from [Armenia's] Meghri [city]
to [capital city] Yerevan, now our drivers can expect a mere $100-$120
for the same service. At the same time, this year our drivers have to
wait for a quite long time at the customs to collect the corresponding
number of `passengers.'
Last year, the number of Iranians [visiting Armenia] was so much that
those who provided rental detached homes were taking about $150 per
day from them. Now, however, the Iranians are renting two detached
homes for the same price.
To note, in the Nowruz days of last year, about 15,000 Iranian
tourists had visited Armenia,' Haykakan Zhamanak writes.
