Baku. Parvin Abbasov - APA. "Indeed Armenia attempts to violate the
international legal norms in the process concerning the Khankendi
airport", director of the State Civil Aviation Administration Arif
Mammadov said in his interview to YAP's website, APA reports.
According to him, in a recent statement, the OSCE Minsk Group
co-chairs expressed their opinions on the Khankendi airport:
"Azerbaijan's state officials, politicians also expressed opinion on
this statement. The common opinion is that the co-chairs are not able
to solve this issue. The opinions of the co-chairs on this problem
is enough contradictory and illogical in some moments. They say that
activity of the Khankendi airport must not be politicized. This is
wrong approach. In general, activity of this airport is impossible.
Namely the airport can't function by itself. If the plane gets off the
ground, it must land in another airport and use the air space for it.
The air space belongs to Azerbaijan".
Arif Mammadov said that Azerbaijan prohibited the use of
above-mentioned airspace by civil airplanes: "We can't control it and
nobody can guarantee the security of flights. That's why we declared
the airport closed in accordance with the international air navigation
rules. The International Civil Aviation Organization accepted our
decision. If Armenians illegally enters to Azerbaijan's air space,
it will be a violation of international rules. Azerbaijan declared
that six international airports are functioning in its territory
and if the plane gets off the ground from another place, it will be
considered as violation of our air space".
