The opening of Stepanakert airport will bring the Karabakh conflict
settlement to a peaceful end, Artak Zakaryan, chairman of NA's Foreign
Relations Standing Committee, told the reporters on Friday.
Speaking about yesterday's visit of the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs to
Stepanakert and their refusal be the first passengers of the airport,
Zakaryan described it as "signs of balance". "But all realize that
people have right to move freely and it is one of the fundamental
rights of a person. No one can say that the people of Nagorno Karabakh
Republic must be in blockade," he said.
Zakaryan expressed conviction that if the civil jets start operating
in Stepanakert airport Azerbaijan will not shoot them down.
"It will be viewed as openly launching war and be criticized by the
international community. Minsk Group would not like the talks enter the
deadlock. Today Azerbaijan is trying to make the negotiation process
fail thinking it will give an opportunity to choose new format,"
the MP said.
The MP also said that though Azerbaijan continues making statements
on different platforms, but the experience shows that as compared
with the previous years the circle of aware people expands.
"Many parliaments avoid falling into Azerbaijan's anti-propaganda
trap. It particularly happened after Safarov's glorification.
Azerbaijan's policy starts having zero result," he said.
