The delay of the operation of Stepanakert Airport is connected with
security issues, but not dictated by Azerbaijani threats, NKR Prime
Minister Ara Harutyunyan said during the meeting with the students
of the Yerevan State University.
“The runway should be designed so as to exclude the planes from
entering Azerbaijan’s air space. The air defense forces must be able to
ensure the secure flights of the aircrafts,” the Prime Minister said.
According to the Prime Minister, the delay of flights from the
Stepanakert Airport is connected with the willingness to ensure
flights corresponding to international standards. All requirements of
the International Civil Aviation Organization are being taken into
consideration, he said. “We are working on the details to guarantee
full security,” Ara Harutyunyan said.
The opening of Stepanakert airport is of economic and social
significance rather than military-political. The air route will help
solve a number of issues. The first results are expected in the field
of tourism.
