In recent days, the southern Armenian town of Meghri has seen a sharp increase in the number of foreign visitors, largely due to escalating military tensions between Iran and Israel. The influx has been confirmed by Ashot Aramyan, head of a local tourism organization.
According to Aramyan, most of the travelers are citizens of China, India, Germany, Russia, and Iran, who are exiting Iran by land due to restrictions on air travel. Among them are employees of embassies and international companies operating in Iran.
“Despite the large flow, most visitors stay just one night, which allows for a steady rotation and makes it possible to accommodate everyone,” Aramyan told Public Radio of Armenia.
Aramyan noted that the customs checkpoint is operating smoothly with no significant delays, thanks to efficient coordination by the staff.
