YEREVAN. – In order to know secrets of paragliding, one should have the equipment of up to $2000, bravery and $200 to complete the training course, member of the Paragliding Federation of Armenia Armen Sargsyan told Armenian News-NEWS.am.

He goes in for this sport for three years. Though there are only 10-12 members and no sponsors, number of people wishing to take it up increases in Armenia.

“We train 3-4 groups in a year to fly but only 3-4 people decide to take it up later,” told Sargsyan and added that it is the most affordable among other types of air sports.
