Why did Armavia abandon Sukhoi?

An unfortunate situation - the first buyer of the Sukhoi Superjet-100 wants to return it back:

The launch customer of the newest Russian aircraft, the Sukhoi Superjet-100 (SSJ-100), seems to have been completely disappointed in its choice and decided not to use the previously ordered aircraft. Previously, the airline announced that it would abandon the purchase of a second Superjet, and is now looking for an opportunity to abandon the first airliner, purchased at the beginning of 2011.

What is the reason?

“The plane is good, but not fully developed,” notes an RBC daily source close to Armavia. According to him, the last straw was that in order to carry out a two-day repair in Zhukovsky, Armavia had to spend four days complying with customs procedures in connection with the temporary import of the aircraft into Russia.

“Unfinished” - this can be said about any aircraft model, each has the possibility of improvement.

Armavia President Mikhail Bagdasarov explains his dissatisfaction with cooperation with Sukhoi Civil Aircraft also by the fact that the cost of spare parts for the aircraft is four times more expensive than similar ones from Airbus. According to him, Russia also has not developed a scheme for financing the supply of equipment to foreign companies.

Here, for some reason, I remembered the situation with the Ust-Katavsky tram in Samara - everyone seemed to be happy with the customer’s model, but the delivery of spare parts took a lot of time. First Deputy General Director of the Canopus (Zlatoust) enterprise A.V. Gorbatov explained to me that the problem here is exclusively in tax proceedings, i.e., it turns out, in the legislative framework, and not in the quality of the equipment presented.

Is it really only the imperfection of laws that forces Armavia to abandon superjets?

Here are some interesting facts:
March 9 - Armavia owner Mikhail Bagdasarov said that the company may declare bankruptcy in the near future. Source

June 28 – News-Armenia. The plane of the national air carrier of Armenia, Armavia Airlines, is being held in the Czech Republic for debts. Source

July 2 - The national carrier of Armenia, ArmAvia airline, may soon become the property of several Russian investors...it is known that negotiations on the sale are being conducted by former Armenian parliamentarian Harutyun Pambukyan, who has been living and working in Russia since last year.

Although ArmAvia is the main airline in Armenia, the carrier’s situation cannot be called good. Financial problems have repeatedly put the airline in a difficult position. Source

So maybe the reason is trivial - Armavia simply has no money?
