    UN to decide on new air corridor between Armenia and Karabakh


    April 02, 2011 | 11:58

    The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) must make a
    decision on opening of a new corridor to carry out flights between
    Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh, UN Resident Coordinator in Azerbaijan
    Fikret Akcura told journalists on Saturday.

    `It is impossible to carry out such flights without their permission,'
    Trend news agency quotes Akcura.

    Stepanakert's airport will start its operation from May 9, 2011.
    Azerbaijan has recently threatened to shoot down aircrafts flying to
    Nagorno-Karabakh.

    On March 21, the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO)
    handed Armenian General Department of Civil Aviation a letter from
    head of the Azerbaijani aviation department which says Baku is ready
    to crash planes flying to Karabakh if authorities open Stepanakert
    airport.

    Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan said he intends to be the first
    passenger of the first flight. Talking to the jounrlists on March 31
    people of Nagorno-Karabakh has a right to use air transport. Sargsyan
    noted Armenia and NKR should spare no effort to reach accord on the
    issue with international agencies.
