The issue of Stepanakert airport has become one of the key issues during meetings at any level. This was announced by the Nagorno Karabakh Republic President’s Spokesperson David Babayan, commenting to Armenian News-NEWS.am on the meeting of co-chairs of OSCE Minsk Group with Foreign Ministers of Armenia and Azerbaijan and the issue of the airport that was discussed during the meeting.

“The issue of the airport is a purely humanitarian issue. Azerbaijan’s hysterical response to it is purely a civil matter, but Azerbaijan started ‘a holy war’ against Nagorno Karabakh and Armenia on this matter. Moreover, Azerbaijan attempts to distort the essence of the negotiation process,” David Babayan said.

According to him, it appears that all Baku’s efforts are targeted not to the reaching a settlement, but in fact to preventing the development of the NKR and strangling NKR. As noted by the press secretary of the President of Nagorno-Karabakh, the international community has to respond to the situation not only verbally.

“We have repeatedly stated that the Stepanakert airport should and will work,” David Babayan concluded.
