On these days the Passport and Visa Department of the Armenian police refuses or at least postpones provision of new passports to the Armenian citizens and children explaining it with lack of new passports.

The paper claims the order not to provide passports to small children in particular, comes from the government to hinder parents take their children abroad.

The paper says such passports are necessary on summer time to leave abroad on holiday while the government is doing everything to make people have their rest in Armenia and not abroad where it is more convenient and affordable. In other words, they are indirectly sending people to the resort houses of oligarchs to spend a lot of money there. The police though have refuted the information.
