One more flight will be implemented by funding of RA Government on July 29 only for those tourists who had traveled Egypt by Armenian “A&R tour” travel company packages. The Embassy of Armenia to Egypt calls on<\/a> to cancel their vacation and return by the flight.<\/p>\n Hripsime Stambulyan, director of “Anriva Tour” company, the authorized representative<\/a> of Egypian Air Cairo airline, states that according to preliminary data, about 400 RA citizens damaged because of A&R tour operator’s failure. “The word is about those who had not flied, those who could not return and about the people whose vacation will end over these days.”<\/p>\n Representatives of “A&R tour” have not made any statements.<\/p>\n On July 25 the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) issued a judgement in the case of Vardanyan and Nanushyan v. Armenia according to which Armenia should pay 1.608.000 euros to the RA citizen, 83-year-old Yuri Vardanyan.<\/p>\n Vardanyan’s flat, which was located at Byuzand street in Yerevan until 2002, was recognized as a supreme interest by the state. As compensation for that flat Vardanyan was offered 54 mln drams (about US$ 113.000) which is almost five times less than the real price. ECHR verdict runs that rights of fair trial and property were violated. ECHR has also noted that behaviour of the president of the Court of Cassation had not been impartial during the trial.<\/p>\n Lawyers state<\/a> that this is an unprecedented amount of compensation. Till now, the total amount of compensation by all ECHR judgments against Armenia has been less than the sum required by this one judgment.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n RA Government allocated<\/a> 261.4 mln drams (more than US$ 547.000) to the Ministry of Emergency Situations (MES) to solve problems resulted from unprecedented number<\/a> of fires. Besides, a number of equipment and goods will be purchased from one and the same entity without competition.<\/p>\n The Government will also allocate 450.5 mln drams (more than US$ 943.000) to the Water Committee to improve water supply infrastructure.<\/p>\n Cafes placed near the Opera House adjacent to Yerevan’s Freedom Square are illegally placed. RA Prosecutor General’s Office<\/a> has issued this statement, noting that a criminal case has been initiated. It also states that 2002-2018 cafes opened due to abuse of Officials’ authorities of Yerevan Municipality, Historical and Cultural Monuments Protection Agency [at Ministry of Culture of Armenia] and the State Committee of Real Property<\/p>\n During March of this year 3 out of 5 cafes near the Opera House were dismantled, and Yerevan Municipality applied to the Court to get the legal grounds for dismantling the other two as well.<\/p>\n In the first half of 2019, total number of crimes in Armenia has increased by 9%.
