“Flights to Russia may resume this month. However, it should be reminded that the number of infection cases started to increase after we relaxed lockdown measures earlier and we had to re-introduce quarantine until August 15.

From August 15, it was slightly eased and from September 5 - further. We, like all countries, are opening schools, kindergartens. Now it takes time to assess the situation in the republic. If the number of cases decreases, it will create conditions for the resumption of flights,” he said.

Previously, the Ministry of Transport said that negotiations were underway to resume flights to Russian cities.
