Yerevan, July 17, ARMENPRESS: The flights of the aircraft from the
Stapanakert airport are going to be implemented without crossing
any other country, including Azerbaijani air border: Armenia via the
territory of Nagorno Karabakh; the chief of the NK President's Staff
Information Department David Babayan mentioned in the interview with
"Armenpress", touching upon the Azerbaijani threats that those flights
are illegal and are considered to be air border violation.
"The opponent's statements should not worry us. He knows our
territorial integrity. As to the fact that Azerbaijan may resort
military actions, it will be considered as a very rude step to the
regional security destruction", Babayan stated. In his word the
aircraft will be fully secured as they are going to fly over the
territory of Nagorno Karabakh and Armenia.
The Chief of the Civil Aviation Department under NK government Dmitri
Adbashyan stressed that Azerbaijan is now an ICAO member and once
signed a convention, according which the civil aircraft should not
be threatened even if they enter the Azerbaijani airspace without
warning. "We are not earnest about the Azerbaijani threats. Recently
the Azeris have weakened their positions, as they do not talk about
destroying the aircraft", Adbashyan briefed.
The Head of the Information Department of NKR Defense Army Senor
Hasratyan in the conversation with "Armenpress" outlined that they do
not deal with the security of the civil aircraft. "Another matter is
when the enemy planes violate our airspace, in this case appropriate
measures will be operated", added Hasratyan.
"Armenpress" has reported that during their regional visit, July 10-13,
the Minsk Group Co-Chairs received assurances that there would be
no force against civil aircraft, the problem will take a diplomatic
form and will not be politicized. The Co-Chairs urged the sides to
conduct flights in their areas according to the international law
and the current practice.
Earlier, Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry and the State Department of
Civil Aviation stated that the flights to the Stepanakert airport
are illegal.
