Baku will not permit "illegal operation" of Artsakh airport - this
is what Azerbaijani Turan news agency concluded from the statement
of Azerbaijani Defense Minister Eldar Sabiroglu.
Panorama.am has interviewed military expert Gagik Karapetyan on
the topic.
Asked what could be viewed as "illegal operation," the expert said,
"Artsakh airport has received an official license, which testifies
to two things: first, the airport meets international standards and
second, it has the right to begin to receive and send planes. From
this point of view, referring to international norms is absolutely
unintelligible."
NKR Defense Army keeps the situation under control, the expert said,
and Azerbaijan cannot damage Stepanakert airport, "let alone passenger
planes."
"Azerbaijan's useless and unintelligible steps will only work against
Azerbaijan itself. No aggression against Artsakh will go unpunished,"
Karapetyan noted, adding that Baku's threats contain "elements of
blackmail."
