The issue of postponement of flights in Karabakh airport is not just
technical but contains a strategic-political element in it as the
Azerbaijani side has adopted a strict stance voicing readiness to
shoot down civil plains, Ara Papyan head of Modus Vivendi think tank
told the reporters on Monday.
"The most important thing for Aliyev is to keep the power and if
he sees he can do it by shooting down the plane he will do it,"
Papyan said.
The speaker said the situation has entered a deadlock with the Armenian
side claiming that the planes will fly. In the opposite case, Armenia's
rating will sharply fall.
"Technically Azerbaijan is ready to fire a missile as Russia has sold
such weapon to Azerbaijan. And the international community limits
itself with calls," Papyan said.
The speaker said if it happens it will cause a war as Armenia should
at least give an adequate response.
"Azerbaijan's grounding of missile attack with the violation of its air
space is not the reason, the issue here is that Stepanakert will have
an airport. The issue is more psychological than military," he said.
"If they shoot down one civil plane, we will eliminate ten of theirs.
Azerbaijan must always remember that the co-relation is 1 to 10,"
Papyan said.
