STEPANAKERT AIRPORT'S RUNWAY AND LIGHTING PASS TESTING

The runway and the lighting system of the newly-built airport in
Nagorno Karabakh's capital of Stepanakert have already been tested.
Now the airport's new runway is relatively larger than initially
built so that that airport will be able to receive bigger aircrafts.
For the time being the airport will organize flight from Stepanakert
to Yerevan and vice versa.
The construction of the Stepanakert Airport started in 2008 and the
airport was initially planned to start operation on May 9, but was,
however, delayed for some technical reasons.
Following the news about the operation of the airport Azerbaijan warned
that it would be an illegitimate use of "Azerbaijan's air space".
Azerbaijani aviation authorities also warned that the country would
have to take measures to prevent it.
Armenia retaliated with President Serzh Sargsyan said he would be
the first passenger of the first Yerevan-Stepanakert flight.
