The full package of shares of the state CJSC "Stepanavan airport" will be handed over to Armenia's Emergency Situations Ministry. Such a decision was adopted at today's session of the government.
The draft decision was submitted by the head of the State Property Board of Armenia, Arman Sahakyan. The airport has not been functioning since 2001. After the restoration, the airport will be used by the Ministry in its rescue operations during the extraordinary situations, as well as when receiving and sending humanitarian cargo to other countries.
