Defence Minister of Georgia Irakly Alasaniya called the threats to
knock down civil airplanes unacceptable at a joint news conference with
Armenian Defence Minister Seyran Ohanyan at a joint news conference
in Yerevan.
The Defence Ministry of Azerbaijan has repeatedly stated that the
illegal flights to the occupied lands of Azerbaijan will be averted
and adequate measures will be taken in case they are implemented.
According to head of the Great Creation Party, MM Deputy Fazil
Gazanfaroglu, this statement of the Georgian side complies with the
current political course of Georgia.
"Tbilisi does not set the problems of South Ossetia and Abkhazia
and Nagorno Karabakh onto the same line on the international arena,
therefore, Azerbaijani side need not to stand for the territorial
integrity of Georgia", he said, 1news.az reports.
Gazanfaroglu considers that Georgia's position goes contrary to the
national interests of Azerbaijan, which is why Baku should introduce
changes into the previous consistent course in relation to this
country.
"Azerbaijan must not raise the issue of the territorial integrity of
Georgia during the international events", he said.
The deputy reminded that this is not the first case demonstrated by
the new government of Georgia.
"Earlier there were the statements of Georgian Premier Bidzina
Ivanishvili in Yerevan which were assessed as contrary to the national
interests of Azerbaijan", he said.
In these issues Georgia must not take the stance which may cause
resentment in Baku, Gazanfaroglu believes.
He said 'Georgians are making this statement in Yerevan to win favor,
to demonstrate their warm relations with Armenia".
"Here there is also a message to Russia: you see, we are making ties
closer with your ally and would also like to improve relations with
you too", he said.
In turn, parliamentary, political scientist Rasim Musabayov believes
that the situation should not be dramatized.
"He was asked in Yerevan and answered. If you ask 99% of people,
can civil aircrafts be knocked down, they will say no. But if you
ask the same Alasaniya, is it possible to carry out these flights
without Azerbaijan's consent, he will say no", he said.
"If you ask me, is it acceptable to knock civil airplanes down, I
will also say no. But these airplanes cannot forced to land. These
are different things", the deputy said.
"He was asked and gave the reply", he said, "Do you want him to say
in Yerevan that Azerbaijan will do it right to knock your airplane
down", Rasim Musabayov said.
Deputy Foreign Minister of Azerbaijan Araz Azimov said that the
Azerbaijani side will not allow illegal flights in its airspace.
