YEREVAN. – Summer vacation of an Armenian couple in Antalya was like a real horror film. The couple, who wished to remain anonymous, told Armenian News – NEWS.am that although they had paid quite a lot for a 10-day vacation in a 5-star hotel, the climate of fear was so strong they had to cancel their vacation and return to Armenia after 4 days.

At the hotel booked by Dolce Travel tour agency, the couple was first taken to a separate subsidiary building with a common toilet. A day after contacting the tour agency, they were taken to the rooms provided for them.

Besides the couple, there were no more Armenians in the hotel; 70% were Azerbaijanis, who were constantly teasing and threatening them.

The couple was especially concerned about one of the reception workers, who kept making offending remarks and reminding they were the only Armenians in the hotel.

The next day, 5 boys surrounded the couple on the beach, talking loudly and laughing; the only thing the Armenian couple could get was the repeatedly used word “Ermeni,” namely Armenian.

The couple managed to leave the beach and reach the hotel with the help of an English family.

However, in the hotel, they again came across the 5 Azerbaijanis, who were talking to a hotel worker, the one who was teasing them. Seeing the couple, the Azerbaijanis laughed, asking in Russian: “So, Ermeni, did you have a good rest?”

“It was no longer possible to stay there; wherever we went, the Azerbaijani kids were crying “Ermeni.” We wanted to change the hotel, but they required 450 dollars for that,” the couple said.

Finally, the couple phoned to the tour agency, changed the day of the return ticket and returned to Armenia. They tried to get back their money, but the company refused to compensate, offering large discounts for other packages.
