AZERBAIJAN CONTINUES THINKING UP NEW VERSIONS REGARDING STEPANAKERT AIRPORT
14:21, 18 October, 2012
YEREVAN, OCTOBER 18, ARMENPRESS. Azerbaijani authorities keep using
international forums for pushing forward their policy of lie. Being
quite impotent to prevent the exploitation of Stepanakert Airport
Azerbaijan continues searching for new ways for groundless accusations
and staining reputation of the Republic of Armenia. This time the
position of official Baku regarding Stepanakert Airport was declared
by the permanent representative of Azerbaijan to the United Nations in
New York Agshin Mehdiyev. As reports "Armenpress" citing Azerbaijani
1news.az, this was announced by Press Secretary of the Ministry of
Foreign Affairs of Azerbaijan Elman Abdullayev.
For this time again Mehdiyev tried to put forward Azerbaijani version
about "illegal attempts of the Armenian side to exploit Stepanakert
Airport". The permanent representative of Azerbaijan to the United
Nations mentioned in his letter the following: "By these attempts
Armenia shows its disrespect towards international law and damages the
process of peaceful regulation by causing disturbances about security
in the region". Complaining about Artsakh Air Company airlines founded
by the Armenian side he turned to the UNO member states to abstain from
any cooperation and with Stepanakert Airport and Artsakh Air Company.
The Airport of Stepanakert was built in 1974 and received flights
mainly from Yerevan and Baku. From 1992 the Airport was idle. In 2008
the construction of the new main building of the Airport was launched,
which is analogous to an eagle with opened wings. Within this period
of time the runway has been widened as well and the peaks of some
hills adjacent to the runway have been evened, so that the reception
of the modern large airplanes has become possible.
>From the very beginning of the reconstruction and re-equipment
works of the Airport of Stepanakert the Azerbaijani authorities have
threatened that in case of the Airport's functioning, they would shoot
down the civil airplanes. These announcements made by Azerbaijani
side have been condemned by the international community as well.
