'Khankendi airport cannot be the connecting point for Armenia or
Karabakh to rest of the world'.
According to Zahid Oruc, a deputy of Milli Majlis and member of the
parliamentary committee on defense and security, the establishment
and usage of the Khankendi airport go against the international norms.
He believes this is simply a maneuver for Armenia to provoke
Azerbaijan.
'For a long time now Armenia has been trying to make Karabakh the
subject of international law. The Armenian government has been trying
to attract international investment into Karabakh, and to demonstrate
favorable conditions. They have been promoting forged diplomatic
institutions in Karabakh to implement these projects and achieve
their plans,' said Zahid Oruc.
He added that it is very beneficial for Armenia to build the Khankendi
airport.
'The Armenians have a simple goal. They want to use the airport for
regional and perhaps even international flights down the line. This
will completely change the name of region on the international maps,
and it will be counted as part of Armenia on the list of destinations
for travelers. Regulations of international flights addressed in the
"Kyoto" agreement require countries to provide points of destinations
for air travel. At this point Karabakh is part of Azerbaijan on all
maps and guide cards handed out to traveling passengers on the plane'.
MP also emphasized on the fact that the future airport would fall
onto Azerbaijan's side as well, which would be considered a major
violation of law.
"We have already taken the necessary precautions to make sure that
the international media and community is aware of these violations. No
airport will open for business when these violations are still under
question," noted the MP.
