The flight of the Algerian Air Force to Baku through the territory of Armenia was for diplomatic purposes.

The Lockheed Martin C-130J-30 Super Hercules aircraft of the Algerian Air Force made a diplomatic flight through the territory of Armenia to Azerbaijan. This was reported by the RA Ministry of Foreign Affairs in response to Sputnik Armenia’s inquiry.


“According to the information provided by the executing party, the flight of the C-130J aircraft on the Bufarik-Baku route through the airspace of Armenia took place for diplomatic purposes,” the Foreign Ministry emphasized.


It should be noted that the plane used Armenian airspace to fly from Ankara to Baku and from Baku to Boufarik (Algeria) in February.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
