Military Helicopters Prior to Pashinyan's Flight

The newspaper "Zhamanak" reports that "yesterday, just before acting Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan was set to depart for Moscow, military helicopters were once again circling the skies over Yerevan and Zvartnots Airport.

Ordinary citizens are reminded of the official visits of former president Serzh Sargsyan, when military helicopters would take to the skies each time he was about to travel abroad, ostensibly for his security.

According to our source, the military helicopters cannot provide any security for the flight, and this is more of a ceremonial practice."
