YEREVAN. - A smaller number of Iranians are in Armenia this year, to
celebrate Nowruz (New Year) in Armenia, than in the previous years,
Haykakan Zhamanak daily reported.
"This refers to the negative dynamics that is recorded each year.
"The [Armenian] tour operators', hotels' guide-translators, who have an
experience in serving Iranian tourists, already have recorded that far
fewer [Iranian] tourists have visited [capital city] Yerevan this year.
"We spoke with the [Iranian] tourists themselves about the reasons.
They say Yerevan is an expensive city, and [Georgian capital city]
Tbilisi is preferable from purely the financial perspective.
"The Iranians are complaining also about the lack of public toilets
in Yerevan, [and] the taxi drivers, who extort a lot of money for
driving a few kilometers," Haykakan Zhamanak wrote.
