In the war of nerves for the Stepanakert Airport the winner will
be the party who will be able to break the will of its opponent,
political expert Levon Shirinyan told journalists on Monday.
He said that the key problem is no guarantee that the planes that
will fly to and from the airport will not be shot down by the Azeris.
"Nobody questions the legality of the project as the people of Nagorno-
Karabakh have won a national liberation struggle and now want to live
like the other civilized countries do. So, they must not yield to what
the Azeris or the Turks say and must put the airport into service. It
will be a civil airport, so, our position is lawful," Shirinyan said.
He assumes that ICAO has permitted the work of the airport, otherwise
it would make no sense to discussing the issue. The expert suggested
that ICAO officials take part in the first Stepanakrt-Yerevan flight
so they could see everything with their own eyes.
Chief Architect of the Stepanakert Airport Tigran Barseghyan said
that the airport has been designed by the Yerevan State University
of Architecture and Construction and built by Horizon-95 company,
with a total of $5mln spent on the project.
"We have created all conditions for safe flights. So, we see no
reasons for the airport not to operate," Barseghyan said.
He said that the airport's capacity is 100 passengers an hour. The
flight from Stepanakert to Yerevan will last for 35 minutes. "The
airport has all capacities for carrying out international flights,"
Barseghyan said.
