The airport of Stepanakert will be reoperated by autumn 2008,
President Bako Sahakyan said in yesterday's news conference. "Most
people we met confessed they do not visit Karabakh often because no
planes fly there."
He said he has invited specialists from the Department of Civil
Aviation of Armenia and they have already made a conclusion.
The president said as of today the airport of Stepanakert can
receive only helicopters. He said soon the available equipment will be
installed. The rest of equipment will be brought from Gyumri where the
airport has been modernized recently for international flights. New
equipment costs millions of dollars, therefore old equipment will be
installed in the airport Stepanakert of Stepanakert.
There will be no international flights for the time being because the
permission of Azerbaijan is required for that. "For the time being,
we will launch Stepanakert-Yerevan and Yerevan-Stepanakert flights. Air
travel will help revive not only tourism but also life in the country,"
the president said.
