YEREVAN. – We've had a lot of debate over the operation of an airport in Karabakh (Artsakh), because we really want to find a solution to this issue. Tatevik Revazian, Chair of the Civil Aviation Committee of Armenia, stated this at the February 13 sitting of the National Assembly.

However, according to her, the fact is that Azerbaijan has decided to close the airspace of Artsakh.

"We, as the Civil Aviation Committee, have no right to give permission for flights to Karabakh," Revazian said. "This is a political issue that cannot be resolved at our level."

Sasun Mikaelyan, an MP of the ruling My Step Alliance, inquired whether Armenia was trying to hold discussions on this issue internationally. In response, Revazian stated that there were no such discussions at their level.

"At a higher level—I have not checked," the head of the Civil Aviation Committee added. “This is not the decision that can be made and implemented at our level; this is a political issue."
