Azerbaijan expects Turkey’s explanations on opening Van-Yerevan flight

Azerbaijan, Baku, 16 March / Trend M. Aliyev /

Azerbaijan expects Turkey’s explanations in connection with the
opening of the Van-Yerevan flight.

Opening of the Van-Yerevan flight doesn’t correspond to Turkey’s
position concerning the occupation of Azerbaijani lands by Armenia,
Deputy Chairman-Executive Secretary of Azerbaijan`s ruling New
Azerbaijan Party (YAP) Ali Ahmadov told reporters on Saturday.

According to him, the opening of this flight is of concern.

“We hope Turkey will clarify this issue. We are against easing of
relations between Turkey and Armenia while Azerbaijani lands are under
occupation,” Ahmadov said.

Ahmadov said Turkish authorities have repeatedly made statements at
the highest level on impossibility of easing of the Armenian-Turkish
relations until Azerbaijani territories aren’t liberated from
occupation.

Private Turkish Bora Jet Airlines plans to begin Yerevan-Van flights
this summer.
