U.S. Assistant Secretary for the Bureau of European and Eurasian
Affairs Philip Gordon commented on Baku's threats to shoot down
Karabakh-bound civil aircrafts.
"We had heard such threats and, very quickly and clearly, made clear
our view that threats to take out a civilian aircraft there and in any
other context are unacceptable and really shouldn't be issued. Since
then, we have noted, and the Minsk Group Co-Chairs have noted,
Azerbaijan making clear that it had no intention of doing so. And
we think that is the only constructive way forward on that," Gordon
said at Foreign Press Center in Washington, answering a question of
the Armenian Public TV.
