Separatist Nagorno Karabakh regime is not recognized as an independent
country.
Azerbaijan's appeal to the International Civil Aviation Organization
(ICAO) to prevent Armenians from building an illegal airport and
organizing illegal flights to the occupied territories is a warning,
Deputy Director of Azerbaijan State Civil Aviation Administration
Fuad Guliyev said.
Guliyev said the Azerbaijani side is solid for the warning and
statements.
'We have stated several times and reiterate that all flights to our
occupied territories are illegal. They will be prevented within the
framework of the legislation,' he said.
Deputy Director said ICAO told Azerbaijan State Civil Aviation
Administration that organization had informed Yerevan about
Azerbaijan's concern and warning.
Fuad Guliyev said separatist Nagorno Karabakh regime is not recognized
as an independent country.
'Moreover, if Azerbaijan State Civil Aviation Administration does
not issue a certificate to the airport built in Khankendi, which is
an integral part of Azerbaijan, this airport will not be able to get
international status,' he said.
Fuad Guliyev said they had not received any official written reply
from the Armenian side to Azerbaijan's appeal and warning through ICAO.
Director of Azerbaijan State Civil Aviation Administration Arif
Mammadov had said physical destructive measures would be taken against
the planes flying to Khankendi airport ignoring Azerbaijan's warning.
Civil Aviation Administration agreed with Defense Ministry and sent
a warning letter to the ICAO in October, 2010.
Following the statements, OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs and US ambassador
to Azerbaijan Matthew Bryza called official Baku to avoid such step.
Moreover, Armenian side makes different statements too. They say that
such efforts of Baku will be prevented, even Azerbaijani planes will
not be allowed to fly over Armenia to Nakhchivan and Turkey.
Taking stance on Armenian statements, Azerbaijani experts on aviation
consider that all military and civil missiles flying over the occupied
territories are considered as 'enemy'. National and international
laws let Azerbaijan take appropriate measures against the violation
of air space in the internationally recognized territories.
Air Defense Troops' experts declare that they are able to carry
out measures against each military and civil aircrafts flying to
Azerbaijan's Khankendi airport. If close location of Khankendi airport
to the front-line is taken into consideration, Air Defense Troops
can annihilate those aircrafts by using C-125 or C-200 complexes.
At the same time, it is possible to destroy navigation system of those
aircrafts by using modern radioelectronic methods, and annihilate
them without using any force. According to the words of experts, at
present, Azerbaijan's air defense systems can control not only the
flights over Nagorno Karabakh, but also all the flights over Armenia.
Civil aircrafts fly especially at altitudes of 8-10 km, their speed
is lower than the military ones. Moreover, aircrafts rising from
Khankendi may be annihilated till the level of maximum altitude.
Note that, the first flight to Khankendi is considered to realize on
May 9 of this year.
