    MIKA IS DISCONTENT WITH DOLLAR DEVALUATION

    The owner of the "Armavia" National Airlines and Russia-based
    businessman Michael Baghdasarov is discontent with the dollar
    devaluation. He stated this at the Hayeli Club on July 27.

    Baghdasarov stated when he sold 70 percent of shares to the Russian VTB
    bank, they agreed to sell the other 30 percent later. He did it on July
    25. The dollar depreciation made Baghdasarov sell his shares to VTB.

    His disapproval of the bank policy is also determined by the dollar
    devaluation.

    After selling his 30 percent of shares Michael Baghdasarov noticed
    that the new leadership of the bank launched reforms, which he thinks
    is on the right track. Mikhail Baghdasarov is likely to help the bank
    and to keep the accounts of his companies in the bank.

    "It will be good for the bank." Today we are not in the banking
    sector but it does not mean we will not buy a bank later, Mikhail
    Baghdasarov stated.

    The owner of the national airlines said today that the number of
    passengers of the company grows by an annual 0.6 percent. Armavia
    gradually develops and becomes member of the European family of
    aviation.

    According to Michael Baghdasarov, only 0.5 percent of delays are
    Armavia's fault. Baghdasarov assured that Armavia's parameters are
    better than those of the Russian and some European airlines.

    Presently the company has 7 planes, it will buy another two A320
    planes before 2008 and one A330 by 2011. Besides, the company will
    have more regular flights. Armavia already flies to Cologne, soon the
    Yerevan-Beijing and Yerevan-Tokyo flights will be launched. Armavia is
    ready to start flights from Yerevan to Los Angeles. The United States
    is not against, and now the General Department of Civil Aviation of
    Armenia is negotiating with the Armenian party.

    The owner of Armavia also said soon the Armavia will be set up which
    will repair not only Armavia's planes but also other companies'
    planes. In the nearest future, it will be possible to book tickets
    on the web.
