Yesterday the Presidential Palace announced that President Armen Sarkissian had returned to Yerevan at the end of last week.  At the urging of doctors, the president continues his treatment in Yerevan as well.

Armen Sarkissian also started performing his official duties, that is, he is already attending work and has signed some decrees, Hraparak newspaper writes.

The President arrived in Armenia with an unknown plane with blue markings, on which there is no logo of any airline. The plane was parked at the presidential entrance of Zvartnots airport, and the number one board can be seen in the rear.

We inquired from the Presidential Palace by what plane the president arrived in Armenia, in response to which Hasmik Petrosyan, Advisor to the President, said that at the end of last year, all the travel and other expenses of the President of the Republic to go abroad and return from treatment a few days ago were covered by non-state, personal means. The president arrived in Yerevan by private plane. As far as I know, it belongs to one of his close friends.
