The Stepanakert airport, the existence of which concerns Azerbaijan -
and from time to time statements are made from there - will be ready
to carry out flights in a few weeks. Hovhannes Tokmajyan, the rector
of Yerevan State University of Architecture and
Construction, who had had a few flights already, although by
helicopter, said about this today.
The Stepanakert airport has been designed by Yerevan State University
of Architecture and Construction (designer: Tigran Barseghyan),
has been built under the guidance of Gagik Galstyan, a member of the
council of the same university and the president of the Republic of
Armenia Union of Constructors.
Hohannes Tokmajyan asserts that the airport reminds of a falcon or a
helicopter preparing to take off. In order to carry out the project,
serious engineering solutions have been made, even two mountains have
been cut off, in order to carry out a flight without approaching the
Azerbaijani territory.
"This is an unprecedented event for civil aviation. The supermodern
devises set up at the airport supervise a flight starting from a few
kilometers. One can see both Yerevan and Baku from the remote control,"
Mr. Tokmajyan says.
According to him, the government of the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic
intends to build a new building for the airport. "I think that the
Stepanakert airport has already played its role, although flights have
basically not been carried out yet. Only the fact that the symbols of
Artsakh - grandmother and grandfather - as well as the pictures of
the airport are on everybody's, also our opponents', websites means
that the airport has already played its political role. I don't think
that there can be any sovereign state without an airport. From this
perspective, building the airport was a necessity and is one of the
best among the projects carried out in past years."
