STEPANAKERT, JUNE 13, ARTSAKHPRESS: Spokesperson of Artsakh’s President Davit Babayan said in an interview with Artsakhpress.
He commented the information in social networks on Airbus A321-231 airplane belonging to the Turkish Airlines flying from Istanbul to Baku flew over the airspace of Artsakh.
“A number of international flights are conducted over Artsakh’s airspace or very near to it and it’s not ruled out that there can be some flights from Istanbul as well.We are not Azerbaijan to make terrorist actions. It’s the style of Azerbaijan. Even if such a flight is conducted, it’s no problem for us. This shows that Artsakh is a normal and civilized country”, Babayan said.
To the remark that Azerbaijan calls on the airlines of other countries to bypass the airspace of Artsakh for security reasons, Davit Babayan stressed that those are false calls.
”If a Turkish airplane really flew over the airspace of Artsakh, this shows that the mentioned calls are false. They are used to saying something, but doing something else. If it’s dangerous to fly over Artsakh, why do they fly over Artsakh themselves?” he said.
David Babayan noted that the international community should pay attention to and condemn the threats of the political leadership of Azerbaijan, according to which Azerbaijan will down any airplane taking off from Stepanakert’s airport.
