YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 27, ARMENPRESS: Hindrance of the works of the
Airport of Stepanakert or shooting down of civil airplanes will
have undesirable consequences. "If Azerbaijan tries in any way to
hinder the works of the Stepanakert Airport or shoot down our civil
airplanes, it will mean war", - Armenpress was reported by the Head
of the Central Information Department of the President's Staff of
Nagorno Karabakh Republic David Babayan.
Azerbaijan threatens time to time, which is, according to Babayan, a
part of fascist policy conducted by the country. "For the international
community such approach is unacceptable. It is an object of civic
character and will function in accordance to the international rights
and norms, as people have the right to travel freely", - said the
Head of the Central Information Department.
According to David Babayan, the Airport is equipped with up-to-date
equipment. "Even in the conditions of no flight weather we can do
so that the airplane lands in any airport of Armenia", - stated the
Head of the Central Information Department of the President's Staff
of Nagorno Karabakh Republic.
The Airport of Stepanakert will be put into operation in the
coming days. This information was reported to Armenpress by the
Press Secretary of the General Department of Civil Aviation at the
Government of the Republic of Armenia Nelly Cherchinyan.
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 as well has been widened and the peaks of some
hills adjacent to the runway have been evened, so that the reception
of the modern large aircrafts 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 Azerbaijanis have been
condemned as well by the international community.
