Naghdalyan: Entry-exit restrictions through Armenia`s air borders  lifted

ArmInfo. Restrictions on entry and exit to Armenia through the air borders have been lifted, and bans on communication only across land borders remain. The  Spokesperson of the Armenian Foreign Ministry Anna Naghdalyan stated  this on September 2 during a briefing in Yerevan.

At the same time, she noted that restrictions on visits by citizens  of Armenia to other countries remain due to legislative regulations  introduced by this or that country, and are not conditioned by  bilateral relations.  According to her, the restrictions were  introduced based on the recommendations of the Ministry of Health of  a particular state, taking into account the epidemiological  situation.  Reacting to numerous appeals from citizens regarding when  the communication with Russia will open, she recalled that the  restrictions imposed by the Russian government on March 16 of this  year are still in effect, which also set the categories of citizens  who are allowed to enter the country.

At the same time, she recalled that citizens of the Republic of  Armenia who go for treatment to the Russian Federation must  necessarily have a relevant certificate from the Russian medical  institution where they intend to undergo treatment.

At the same time, Naghdalyan stressed that negotiations with the  Russian Federation are continuing on the resumption of regular  flights and the abolition of the ban on entry for citizens of  Armenia. However, she found it difficult to name the possible timing  of the resumption of flights.

Commenting on the gathering of Armenian citizens at the Upper Lars  checkpoint, the Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman stated that the ban on  entry to foreigners has not been lifted in Georgia and recommended  that Armenian citizens use the air borders to return home. In this  regard, she recalled that weekly charter flights are carried out from  Russia, especially from its southern part - Mineralnye Vody,  Krasnodar, Rostov-on-Don. At the same time, she added that vehicles  can be delivered to the republic using the services of the relevant  services.

Naghdalyan also told about the rules for visiting China by Armenian  citizens. According to her, citizens of the Republic of Armenia can  visit China if they have a negative test for coronavirus (valid for 3  days), made at the institution indicated by the PRC Embassy in  Armenia, and if they have a health certificate provided by the  Chinese Embassy
