The civil planes that will fly from Yerevan to Stepanakert will appear
on Azerbaijani radars for 1-2 minutes after landing which is a very
short period for the Azerbaijani side to use the moment and harm the
planes, military expert Davit Jamalyan told the reporters on Monday.
He convinced that Baku's statements on shooting down the planes are
of more propaganda nature.
After they fail to do anything, they will start ignoring the flights.
"No doubt, Aliyev's statements have inner-political context, but if
Baku is convinced it can shoot down the planes nothing will stop it,"
he said, adding that the fact that the Armenian side may give them
adequate response restrains them from this step.
Jamalyan said the opportunities of Armenia's air defense systems
give our minister an opportunity to state about the security of the
flights. "It is very difficult to harm planes technically and besides,
the Armenian side is undertaking necessary steps to ensure safe
flights," he said, stressing that operation of Stepanakert airport
is unavoidable.
