STEPANAKERT. – Azerbaijan makes improper statements, which are not normal for a civilized state, chief of Department of Civil Aviation at the Artsakh [Nagorno-Karabakh] government Dmitry Atbashyan told Armenian News-NEWS.am. He commented on regular threats by Azerbaijan addressed to Artsakh and Armenia in connection to exploiting the Stepanakert airport.

“It is indeed right that Azerbaijan may shoot, seize, force to land planes or made them to do other actions, for example by sending saboteurs. They will go for it. However, the Armenian side is aware of it,” Atbashyan emphasized adding that the Artsakh side estimates those statements as common threats.
