The law adopted by Azerbaijan on shooting down the civil planes flying
from Stepanakert airport does not present anything of itself, military
expert Arkady Grigoryan said, speaking to Tert.am.
He stressed that there is not a country in the world which
irrespective of all would allow itself consider it has a right to
shoot down a civil plane of any country.
`The conscious of a sensible human will never allow a though of
shooting down a civil plane. Such manifestations were condemned in the
civilized world in all the times. We have such cases during the Cold
War when the USSR few times shot down civil planes but it was
condemned by the whole humanity,' he said.
Asked whether what will happen if Azerbaijan makes such step, Arkady
Grigoryan said no one has given a better answer to it but Defense
Minister of Nagorno Karabakh Movses Hakobyan. `Movses Hakobyan said
that only last year Artsakh's anti-air defense controlled more than
3,500 Azerbaijani flights. I think it should be satisfactory for
them,' he said.
Speaking to reporters recently, Armenia's Defense Minister Seyran
Ohanyan, referring to the issue said that the Armenian Armed Forces
and anti-air defense and air defense forces will ensure the flights
and activity in Stepanakert airport.
