YEREVAN, October 15. /ARKA/. Yerevan and St-Petersburg need to
rehabilitate their historic economic and tourism relations, head of
St Petersburg committee for tourism Alexander Shapkin said.

country, and it is a pity Armenia’s is deprived of attention from
Russian tourists”, Shapkin told ARKA.

and interesting to Armenian tourists, Shapkin said.
