Azerbaijan cannot find any reason to explain its objections to the
plans for launching the Stepanakert airport, according to an Armenian
expert.
Commenting on the Azerbaijani Defense Ministry's Wednesday statement
threatening to retaliate against Armenia for opening the airport,
the head of the Armenian Center for National and International Studies
said such belligerent rhetoric is not something new.
"Azerbaijan all the time voices threats on this score. They used even
to say that they would shoot down a plane. That's the same things;
only the statements have turned a little restrained," Manvel Sargsyan
told Tert.am.
The expert noted the statements are made in an effort to prevent
flights.
"That's a classical threat," he said, considering Armenia's position
on the issue somewhat unclear.
"If you promise to launch [the airport], then that's what you have
to do. But speaking and not doing anything only contributes to more
threats by Azerbaijan," he explained.
