Armenia on Thursday condemned Azerbaijan's renewed threats to forcibly halt planned commercial flights to Nagorno-Karabakh and warned of "adequate" retaliation against Baku.
The Azerbaijani government reiterated on Wednesday its strong opposition to the reopening of a newly reconstructed airport near the Karabakh capital Stepanakert. Defense Ministry spokesman Eldar Sabiroglu said the Armenian side's plans to launch a regular flight service between Stepanakert and Yerevan without Baku's permission would violate international law.
"Second, one must take into account the fact that we are in a state of war," news agencies quoted Sabiroglu as saying. "And third, if they [the Armenians] resort to that step, they will get an adequate response. That is, the Azerbaijani army will perform its duties."
