"We consider Azerbaijan as a civilized country committed to
acknowledged standards. Consequently, I perceive the given decision as
an unfortunate joke or a similar interpretation," Secretary General of
the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) Nikolay Bordyuzha
told media in Yerevan when commenting on the Azerbaijani Government's
decision allowing the Azerbaijani Air Forces to bring down civil
aircrafts over the territory of NKR.
"I don't think that any country in the world can afford bringing down
a civil aircraft. Consequently, I have very much doubt regarding the
intentions and possibilities of the Azerbaijani leadership to allow
intentional destruction of civil aircrafts. We remember the tragedy
in the Far East and the response by the world community. Therefore,
I don't take this information seriously," Bordyuzha said.
On Jan 18 Azerbaijan published information that the
Azerbaijani Government approved rules implying forced landing of
aircrafts-violators. The document determines 13.5/25km-wide borderline
strip used in the special regime along the state border. According
to the document, banned zones and limited zones can be determined in
the airspace of Azerbaijan. The document says that the use of air
space without sending poll (table, graphic), warning military air
forces' bodies, the poll before coming into force and after ending
of period of poll's validity and without the permission of relevant
operative body, non-fulfillment of teams of flights governing bodies
and fighter-interceptor aircraft, implementation of the flights for
monitoring, use of airspace of banned and limited zones without special
permission etc are considered the violation of airspace's rules.
The document allows bringing down the Armenian civil aircrafts fyling
over the territory of NKR.
