    Baku. Rashad Suleymanov - APA. Azerbaijan has drawn the attention of
    the European Civil Aviation Conference (ECAC) and the European and
    North Atlantic Office of the International Civil Aviation Organization
    (ICAO) to the issue on the illegal construction by Armenians in
    Khankendi airport located in the occupied Nagorno Karabakh region,
    Azerbaijan State Civil Aviation Administration told APA.

    Within the framework of the 137th meeting of the ECAC in Paris on
    December 14-15, Director of the Administration Arif Mammadov met
    with President of the ECAC Catalin Radu and director of the ICAO's
    European and North Atlantic Office Luis Fonseca de Almeida. At the
    meeting with ECAC President, director of Azerbaijan State Civil
    Aviation Administration focused on the illegal construction in
    Khankendi airport located in the occupied Azerbaijani territory
    and explained the position of Azerbaijan's civil aviation. ECAC
    leadership was informed of Azerbaijan's concern over some forces'
    attempts to damage the flight safety in the region.

    In his meeting with Regional Director of the ICAO European and North
    Atlantic Office Louis Fonseca de Almeida, Mammadov emphasized the
    organization's role in the prevention of flights to Khankendi airport
    without relevant permission. Azerbaijan says that the plans of some
    air companies to open flights to this airport are increases the threat
    for the regional flights. According to the rules of the Civil Aviation
    Convention, the sides decided to continue consultations on this issue
    on the basis of sovereignty and territorial integrity of Azerbaijan.

    The European Commission proposed to begin negotiations on "joint
    airspace" agreement with Azerbaijan in the beginning of 2012.

    Armenians began the main construction of Khankendi airport in 2008.

    Its opening has been scheduled to May 9, 2011, but was postponed
    until uncertain time for technical reasons.

    Azerbaijan State Civil Aviation Administration stated that the
    construction of airport in the occupied territories of Azerbaijan
    and flights carried out to Khankendi from other countries without
    permission of Baku are illegal. Baku said it would use all measures
    considered by the legislation, including physical destruction of the
    planes, against the illegal flights.
