The CIS Interstate Aviation Committee will not give a certificate to
the Khankandi airport situated in occupied Nagorno Karabakh region
of Azerbaijan.
The statement came from Director of Azerbaijan State Civil Aviation
Administration (ASCAA) Arif Mammadov.
Mammadov said that the abovementioned issue was discussed during the
visit of chairman of CIS Interstate Aviation Committee to Baku.
'We have also discussed the issue with him, and expressed our
position. The chairman promised that the Interstate Aviation Committee
will not conduct any work without Azerbaijani side's consent. Even
if there is the appeal of Armenia, the certificate will not be given
to the airport', underlined Mammadov.
Saying that the warning of ASCAA given to Armenian side in the line of
the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) was not responded,
Mamadov noted that the Armenians postponed the opening of the airport
after the warning given via ICAO.
'If any country carries out flights to the occupied territories,
acting contrary to Azerbaijan's demands, the economic sanctions will
be used against these countries' said Mammadov and underlined that the
information on purchase the equipments from Turkey for construction the
airport released by Karabakh Armenians is determined and it was false.
The administration chief said that Azerbaijan's statements on usage of
physical destruction of Armenian planes, which will fly to Khankandi,
remain in force: 'It is the right of Azerbaijani side basing on the
law of "Aviation". The government will decide whether to use this
right or not'.
Commenting on Armenia's statements that this country will close the
air corridor on it to the Azerbaijani planes, the Administration
chief said that Baku doesn't need this corridor: 'It is possible
to carry out any flight without that corridor. For example, we can
use Parsabad-Julfa line for flying to Nakhchivan. At the same time,
if Yerevan closes its air corridor, Azerbaijan can decide on closing
its air space to Armenian planes in response to it'.
