Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian will meet with OSCE
Minsk Group Co-Chairs in Paris. A meeting with Azerbaijani Foreign
Minister may also be organized, the possibility of a meeting between
the Presidents of the two countries is not on the agenda, Minister
Nalbandian told a press conference in Yerevan.
Azerbaijan has recently adopted a law on the use of airspace,
which allows the government of Azerbaijan to declare certain areas
"banned zones and limited zones," hence allowing to randomly shoot
down civilian aircrafts. Touching upon the issue, Edward Nalbandian
said Azerbaijan has violated its own commitments and the promise to
the mediators. "Azerbaijan is simply trying to politicize the opening
of the Stepanakert Airport," he said.
"Neither Nagorno Karabakh, not Armenia have taken any steps to
politicize the issue, the Minister said. "Opening of the airport
pursues only civilian and humanitarian objectives,"Edward Nalbandian
said, adding that Azerbaijan does not conceal its main purpose -
to isolate Karabakh and its people. He assured, however, that Baku
will not succeed.
