YEREVAN. – Some details have become known with respect to the talk between Prosperous Armenia Party Chairman Gagik Tsarukyan and Mika Baghdasarov, the proprietor of Armavia Airline Company which is Armenia’s national carrier, Hraparak daily reports. 

“The matter refers to the sale of Armavia. Tsarukyan plans to purchase [it], and he is convincing Baghdasarov that he declare it bankrupt, [and] the sale will ensue. But the government is against this because the unpaid salaries will result in protests, and therefore they want for the sale to take place after having resolved the debt issue.   

Incidentally, talks are also underway with two foreign companies—the American Virgin Atlantic and an Italian company—but Tsarukyan’s intention interferes in these talks,” Hraparak writes.
