Zvartnots airport unaware of Turkish Airlines flights to Yerevan

According to a report in Hurriyet, Turkish Airlines company (THY) is going to launch Los-Angeles-Istanbul-Yerevan flights.

Chairman of the company Hamdi Topcu was quoted as saying that they do not operate flights from Turkey to Armenia, but they have already established an office in Yerevan.

Topcu allegedly said that if they manage to implement this initiative, it will be a great step forward in establishing friendly relations between the two nations. He added that cheese will be supplied from Turkey for Armenians of Los Angeles, as there is a considerable demand for it.

However, Zvartnots airport press service told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter that the airport does not possess information on the office establishment by the Turkish air company.

Spokesperson for the General Department of Civil Aviation of Armenia Nelly Chercheryan gave a similar comment on the matter. According to her, the disseminated information is untrue.
