FEW MAKE USE OF POSTAL SERVICES NOWADAYS
Support A1+!Ms Siranush has been working as a postwoman for 27 years. She finds it her mission to deliver pension and letters to citizens. Nowadays postmen are “replaced” by new technologies- Internet, fax and mobile phones.
“I prefer the Internet to posts as it is quicker and cheaper," says a Gyumri citizen Siranush Gevorgian.
“I haven't sent or received letters for a long time as none of my relatives or acquaintances lives abroad. But last year I used to send letters by the Internet as it was more convenient and quicker,” says a Yerevan citizen Sona Esafian.
Today one can come across rusty and old postboxes everywhere. Unfortunately, few people use them nowadays as postmen deliver letters directly to addressees. Besides, postal service is mainly available for servicemen who send letters gratis and for people ignorant of the Internet.
Nevertheless, Ms Siranush still works delivering newspapers, journals, Internet cards and lottery tickets instead of letters and telegrams.
