STEPANAKERT. - The statement by the State Civil Aviation Administration
of Azerbaijan (SCAAA) is nonsense and disrespect towards the
international community, Nagorno-Karabakh Republic President's
Spokesperson David Babayan told Armenian News-NEWS.am.
His comments came after the SCAAA stated that the flights from the
Stepanakert city airport heading to Yerevan are illegal and will be
considered as violation of air border. The airplanes making flights
from Stepanakert will head to Armenia through the air territory of
Nagorno-Karabakh, without violating borders of a third state.
"By this statement Azerbaijan recognizes the territorial integrity of
Karabakh. However, if Azerbaijan considers the Stepanakert airport as
its own territory, it hampers the Karabakh issue settlement and hence,
the OSCE Minsk Group work," Babayan said.
According to the spokesperson, Azerbaijan again shows that the official
Baku is an unstable partner by this step. During the OSCE Minsk Group
Co-Chairs' regional visit on July 10 to 13 Azerbaijan stated that
civil airplanes will not be subjected into force, arguable issues will
be settled through diplomatic moves and they will avoid politicizing
the issue.
To note, Azerbaijan is a member of the International Civil Aviation
Organization and signed a convention that it will not threaten civil
airplanes, even if they enter the air territory without warning.
