OSCE Minsk Group (MG) co-chairs who were on a regional visit last week, unexpectedly suggested a new thesis in their final report. They talked about the opening of Stepanakert airport as one of trust measures between the sides of the Karabakh conflict.
Since 1992 Azerbaijan has been blocking Karabakh's air space, hence the Stepanakert (commercial) airport has been out of use ever since. Three years ago Karabakh authorities took up major reconstruction of the airport and are now stating that it is technically ready for exploitation, and can even offer international flights. However, Azerbaijan is threatening that any aircraft to fly in the sky above Karabakh will be perceived as a trespasser and will be treated as such.
