The opening of the Khojaly Airport in occupied Karabakh violates
international laws and harms peaceful settlement of the Karabakh
conflict, Azeri Foreign Ministry press secretary Elman Abdullayev
told a Monday press briefing.

“All international companies operating in the Khojaly Airport must
immediately stop their illegal operations on the occupied Azeri lands,”
he said.

Azerbaijan reserves the right to a proportionate response otherwise,
he added.

Abdullayev stressed that Armenia would use the airport for flights
of military aircraft, in particular, above the Azeri territory, which
would be another step in disagreement with the country’s territorial
integrity.
