Pashinyan visits Jermuk, says local airport can be put back into operation

On Wednesday, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan visited the Vayots Dzor region to discuss the development of aviation and the potential exploitation of small airports in Jermuk and other towns. According to a post on the Prime Minister's Facebook page, the discussions focused on the regional aviation sector and the potential use of electric-powered aircraft.
