YEREVAN. – Hraparak daily learned from an office employee of Armenia’s Armavia Airline Company that they are conducting an accounting of the plane tickets they had sold, the daily reports.  

“While the victims of Armavia’s bankruptcy are staging demonstrations, its proprietor Mikhail Baghdasarov is abroad. [But] Armavia’s press secretary Nana Avetisova said he will return to [capital city] Yerevan today [that is, on Wednesday].

Also, rumors are circulating in the city, [and] with respect to the sale of gasoline and natural gas pumping stations belonging to Baghdasarov. [But] Avetisova was uninformed about this.    

According to our information, [Yerevan’s] FC Mika [, which likewise belongs to Baghdasarov,] is in a difficult financial situation, too. The footballers have not been paid salaries for two months, and they fear that Armavia’s bankruptcy will reflect [negatively] on the fate of the club.   

We tried to verify this information from Mika Armenia football team coach Aram Voskanyan. He responded that the team is training as normal.  

‘There are problems, but they do not affect our daily sport lives,’ he said,” Hraparak writes.
