Turkey’s Foreign Ministry issued a statement on operation of
Stepanakert airport calling it a provocation by Armenia and urging
Armenia to be reasonable, Turkish website Sondakika.com reported.

The statement said in part: `It has become known that since September
28, 2012, Armenia has been operating the airport of Hankendi
(Stepanakert) in Nagorno-Karabakh, which has been under occupation
since 1992. This move represents a provocation, and it will damage the
process of negotiated settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
Therefore, we urge Armenia to be reasonable and avoid approaches that
could damage regional peace.’
