Baku. Malahat Najafova-APA. `Let Armenia withdraw its troops from
Nagorno Karabakh, then if necessary flights may be operated even to
New York,’ Azerbaijan’s Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov said at the
press conference, APA reports.

Commenting on Armenian president’s statement that flights will be
surely operated from Khojaly airport, Foreign Minister said according
to the international law, it is banned to operate flights to the
occupied territories.

`Though Armenia states that these flights have humanitarian purposes,
this is an illegal move. If Armenia wants to operate flights, it
should first of all withdraw its troops from the occupied territories.
We have repeatedly expressed our position to OSCE Minsk Group and
international organizations,’ he said.
