Foreign Minister of Georgia Maya Panjikidze believes that direct
flights Tbilisi-Yerevan must be resumed. The minister made such
statement at the Thursday meeting with her Armenian opposite number
Edward Nalbandian in Tbilisi.
"There were direct Tbilisi-Yerevan flights before. Both the countries
seek to resume those flights," Panjikidze said after signing an
agreement of cooperation in the field of tourism and an agreement of
exchange and protection of secret information with the Armenian party.
"In 2013, 1.3 million Armenian tourists visited Georgia, consequently
this sector of economy is very promising," she said.
The former national air carrier of Armenia, Armavia Company, made
direct Tbilisi-Yerevan flights before. The airline stopped the flight
along with many other flights declaring bankruptcy in 2013. Armenia's
delegation of high-ranking officials led by President Serzh Sargsyan
was on a two-day official visit to Georgia on 18-19 June. The Armenian
delegation had meetings with the top leadership of Georgia.
