YEREVAN. - Young Diaspora Armenians, who arrived Armenia for participation in Summer School of Young Leaders of Diaspora program, expressed their dissatisfied with monopolistic positions of Armenian local airlines and consequent high prices for flights to Armenia. They expressed their discontent to Youth subcommittee of Armenian Presidential public Council on Wednesday.

According to young people from abroad, many Armenians from the Diaspora cannot afford travelling to Armenia for participation in various programs due to high ticket prices.

They noted that many Armenian citizens themselves prefer to spend their holidays in other countries because it is much more convenient in financial sense than even buying a ticket to Armenia.   

This question worried especially the young people from Armenian communities of Netherlands and Ukraine.

In this regard, the representative of Ukraine said that it is much cheaper to get a ticket to Georgia and find some means of reaching Armenia from there than to buy a Kiev-Yerevan ticket.
