The Armenian government has announced its intention to adopt international standards and operate the “Zvartnots” international airport for international flights. In a conversation with “Armenpress,” Minister Suren Papikyan discussed the implementation and results of the 2023 program under the Government program of the Republic of Armenia (2021-2026), as well as the initiative of Hovik Aghazaryan, a representative of the “Civil Contract” party.
