Amid the war in Ukraine and economic turmoil in Russia, the Armenian government has been quick to open its doors to Ukrainian, Russian and Belarusian citizens and companies who want to relocate to Armenia or find temporary refuge.
According to the Zvartnots airport online registry, more than 70 flights from different Russian cities landed in Yerevan between March 4 and 6, 2022 alone. One-way ticket prices have skyrocketed. Another 80 flights are scheduled to land in Yerevan from Russia this week.
According to some reports, companies such as Veeam, EPAM Systems, NVIDIA and Revolut are fully or partially moving their Russian teams to Yerevan. However, more striking news was the massive exodus of individual Russian citizens, mainly toward ex-Soviet republics, including Armenia.
