Beyond that, the discussion about Armenian aviation in our press is limited to whether the ticket is expensive or cheap, comparing Zvartnots to Tbilisi airports,&#8221; he said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">He considers the intricacies of the topic to be one of the reasons for the lack of interest.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Coverage of Armenian aviation intensified in early June 2020, when the European Commission banned flights of airlines registered in Armenia in the airspace of the European Union.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-22363 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/media.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Vahe_1.jpg\" alt=\"\u054e\u0561\u0570\u0565 \u054d\u0561\u0580\u0578\u0582\u056d\u0561\u0576\u0575\u0561\u0576 \u0540\u0565\u057f\u0584 \u056c\u0580\u0561\u0563\u0580\u0578\u0572\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Vahe_1.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/media.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Vahe_1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Vahe_1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/media.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Vahe_1-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/media.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Vahe_1-1536x864.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Vahe thinks that such media attention is conditioned by the confrontation between political camps in Armenia.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8220;On the one hand, some media outlets are doing everything they can to present what is going on in the dark, with the aim of hurting and hitting the political authorities, but there is also healthy speech. Today, Armenian aviation is in such a state that the need for healthy criticism is especially felt now. And it is important that the leadership of civil aviation does not accept this healthy criticism as insulting and tries to find excuses in every way, but takes appropriate steps.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-22361 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/media.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/vahe-sarukhanyan2.jpg\" alt=\"\u054e\u0561\u0570\u0565 \u054d\u0561\u0580\u0578\u0582\u056d\u0561\u0576\u0575\u0561\u0576 \u056c\u0580\u0561\u0563\u0580\u0578\u0572\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/vahe-sarukhanyan2.jpg 900w, https:\/\/media.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/vahe-sarukhanyan2-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/vahe-sarukhanyan2-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Vahe thinks that the past of Armenian aviation is richer than the present.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">During the Soviet years, there were 16 airports in Armenia. Some of them are now abandoned buildings. Vahe also collected the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/hetq.am\/hy\/author\/7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">stories<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> of those airports in Hetq.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8220;It seems to me that the new generation should be told that we have had such aviation, such a powerful history, such traditions. The generation of aviators has already reached 60 and if those people go, they will take history with them. In other words, if you don&#8217;t hand over the paper, don&#8217;t post that story on the Internet, it will be lost,&#8221; said Vahe Sarukhanyan.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right\"><b>Aren Melikyan<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right\"><b>Photos by Hakob Hovhannisyan<\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In recent months, Armenian aviation is in the turbulent zone of the media.
