Thursday, April 23, 12:10
If President of the Republika Srpska entity of Bosnia and Herzegovina
Milorad Dodik chose the air corridor passing by Turkey, he would
be in Yerevan now, Ruben Grdzelyan, Spokesperson of the Chief Civil
Aviation Department of Armenia, told ArmInfo. He said Turkey refused to
serve Dodik's charter flight. The president was to arrive in Yerevan
at 5:00pm local time. Grdzelyan said it is not a violation of the
international standards of civil aviation.
"There would be no problems, if he chose another air corridor passing
by Turkey, which would be more expensive, indeed," Grdzelyan said. He
is sure there would be no problems even if the president of the
Republika Srpska chose a planned flight via Vienna, for instance.
President of the Republika Srpska entity of Bosnia and Herzegovina
Milorad Dodik was to arrive in Armenia on April 22 to attend
the Armenian Genocide Centennial events. However, his plane was
not allowed to fly via Turkey, through the flight was previously
coordinated with Ankara.
Milorad Dodik has already come out with a statement wherein he says
that Ankara will not get its history to be revised by banning flights.
"Everyone knows that 100 years ago a horrific crime was committed
against the Armenian Christians and it were Turks who committed that
crime," Dodik said.
