ArmInfo. As of February 6, in China, in the situation with the spread of a new type of coronovirus, two RA citizens were evacuated from Wuhan, Hubei Province, China. Another 8 Armenian citizens remaining in Wuhan refused to be evacuated, explaining that they feel safer on the spot. This was reported by the Armenian Embassy in China.
A widespread statement states: <Foreign nationals, if they wish to leave China, use regular operating flights. Armenian citizens who want to fly from China through the airspace of the Russian Federation can take the following regular flights: to Beijing-Moscow-Yerevan, Shanghai-Moscow-Yerevan, Guangzhou- Moscow-Yerevan, Hong Kong-Moscow-Yerevan (operated by Aeroflot, Air China, China Eastern and others), airline tickets are available for sale.
At the same time, the possibility of carrying out a charter flight from Armenia on a possible commercial (paid) basis is being considered. For a preliminary assessment of the demand and the feasibility of its possible implementation, please inform the RA Embassy in China of your desire to take such a flight, indicating the name, surname, location. Information must be sent to the embassy: [email protected] by e-mail before the evening of February 7.
Please note that when collecting a reasonable number of passengers, the flight can most likely be arranged from Beijing, so you need to consider the options for moving to Beijing yourself from your location. At the same time, we ask citizens of Armenia who have problems with documents or need consular support to emphasize this fact in a letter sent to the embassy. The Armenian Embassy in the PRC continues to monitor the situation, to provide various legal, consular, informational, advisory and other assistance within its powers>.
