The Prime Minister's Office Unaware of the Last Technical Inspection of the Government Aircraft Serving Nikol Pashinyan

The Prime Minister's Office of Armenia is unaware of when the Government's number one aircraft last underwent a technical inspection, which caused an inconvenient situation for the Armenian delegation headed by Nikol Pashinyan during their working visit to Kazan.

The issue has been addressed by "Factinfo," noting that the Prime Minister's Office requires an additional 30 days to answer this question.

On March 30, it was officially announced that a technical malfunction had been discovered in the aircraft serving Acting Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, and he returned to Armenia on another plane. On May 4, the website sent a written inquiry to the Armenian government, particularly to the head of the Office, requesting information about the cause of the government aircraft's malfunction, when it last underwent technical inspection, and which aircraft the Armenian delegation returned on—whether it was generously provided by the Russian side or organized on a rental basis.

The website also inquired about the cost of renting a private jet and how much funding would be necessary to resolve the government aircraft's malfunction.

On May 11, the Office only informed the website in a written letter that an additional 30 days would be needed to answer these questions.

"In response to your email, we inform you that additional work is required to provide the information specified in your inquiry. Therefore, according to paragraph 3 of part 7 of Article 9 of the RA Law on Freedom of Information, the answers to the questions will be provided within a 30-day period," the official letter stated.
