"IF AZERBAIJAN SHOOTS DOWN ARMENIAN PLANE, THE RESPONSE WILL BE WAR"
Monday,
February 04
>From the military-political point of view Armenia will not derive
much benefit from the Stepanakert airport's opening, but it will
benefit a lot from the psychological viewpoint, the former Armenian
Ambassador to Canada, Head of Modus Vivendi Center Ara Papian said
at the meeting with reporters today.
In his words, even in wartime the Stepanakert airport can hardly
be used to transport firearms. Arms are supplied to Artsakh by an
overland route.
Ara Papian also commented on the Azerbaijani side' threats that it
would shoot down the very first plane to fly from Stepanakert airport.
"There are protests and instability in Azerbaijan at the moment so
avoiding a war is not Aliyev's main problem now. And we will give an
adequate response in this case: ten against one".
According to Papian, if Azerbaijan shoots down a civilian plane,
the response will be a war, regardless of who the passengers of that
plane are.
Nevertheless, if ahead of the presidential election in Azerbaijan,
Aliyev realizes that he will be able to retain power by shooting down
an Armenian civilian plane, the political scientist did not rule out
such a course of events.
