Sixty-three Armenian citizens who were in the United Arab Emirates returned to Yerevan on March 8 via a flight from Muscat, Oman, the Foreign Ministry said on Monday.
“In Oman, the consul of the Armenian Embassy welcomed citizens who used the transfer arranged by the Armenian Embassy in the UAE at the UAE–Oman border crossing and escorted them to Muscat Airport, where they received the necessary assistance,” the ministry said.
The Foreign Ministry had earlier stated that it would provide free transportation from the UAE to Oman for citizens stranded amid flight cancellations, to connect with the Muscat–Yerevan flight.
Thousands of flights were cancelled amid the Middle East escalation.
