Baku. Victoria Dementeva - APA. Permanent representative of
Azerbaijan to the UN, Ambassador Agshin Mehdiyev sent a letter to
the UN Secretary-General on Armenia's steps towards opening of an
airport in the occupied territories of Azerbaijan, Spokesman for the
Azerbaijani Ministry of Foreign Affairs Elman Abdullayev told APA.
According to him, the Secretary General was informed that Armenia
is taking steps to operate Khojaly Airport in, and illegally use the
airspace over, the territory of the Republic of Azerbaijan currently
occupied by Armenian armed forces: "Establishing the so-called
"Artsakh Airport", Armenia manifested its intention to operate
flights, including military ones, into and from Khojaly Airport
(referred to by the Armenian side as "Stepanakert airport")". Such
attempts clearly display a manifest disregard for international law,
undermine the peace process and aggravate regional security concerns.
The government of Azerbaijan wishes to inform the member-states of
the United Nations that the so-called "Stepanakert Airport" is not
an approved under the legislation of Azerbaijan. Consequently all
flights operated from and into that airport are illegal and violate
the foundational principles and objectives of the International Civil
Aviation Organization. Azerbaijan called on UN member-states to refrain
from cooperating with "Stepanakert Airport" and "Artsakh Air Company".
