EASTERN EUROPE/U.S. AIRPORT ISSUES CONFERENCE
REF: USDOC 3828
On September 19, we delivered reftel invitation to Armenian
Director of Civil Aviation Artyom Movsesyan. He said that he
hopes to attend the conference contingent on available
funding. Movsesyan informed us that Vano Vardanyan, the
second invitee mentioned in reftel, no longer works at
Zvartnots Airport. He told us that management and safety
issues at the airport are currently the responsibility of
Juan Pablo Gechijyan, Executive Director of Armenia
International Airports (AIA). AIA is a private company that
has managed Zvartnots Airport under a 30-year concession
agreement since 2002. Per reftel, we contacted Dr. Sean
McAlister in the U.S. Department of Commerce, Office of
Global Trade Programs via e-mail and suggested that an
invitation also be extended to Gechijyan. McAlister agreed
and on September 27, we met with Gechijyan and passed the
reftel invitation. He was extremely interested in the
conference and said that either he or his representative is
likely to attend.
