Baku, Fineko/abc.az. The U.S. and Turkey differ in opinion on
the occasion of expected opening of the airport (on 9 May) in the
Azerbaijani territories being occupied by Armenia.
Turkish ambassador Hulusi Kilic to Azerbaijan has stated today that
the decision on flights of airplanes to Khankendi (the administrative
centre of the Armenian-occupied areas) should be based on international
law
"We should not take steps that cause anxiety in Azerbaijan. Anyway,
Turkey has always been with Azerbaijan and supports it," Kilic said.
Earlier, U.S. ambassador Matthew Bryza to Azerbaijan said that
Azerbaijan and Armenia should solve issues of safety of flights before
the opening of the airport in Khankendi.
State Civil Aviation Administration's director Arif Mammadov, in turn,
claimed that Azerbaijan has the right to destroy aircrafts to land
in the currently-built airport in Khankendi.
In connection with this issue Azerbaijan has sent a warning sent to
the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO)," Mammadov said.
As a result of Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict over Nagorno Garabagh
conflict, Armenia has occupied 20% of Azerbaijani territory.
