“Legally, Khojaly airport cannot operate, as unauthorised flights through Azerbaijani airspace are not permitted without that government’s sanction,” British MP Chris Pincher, Member of the Energy and Climate Change Select Committee and chair of the Azerbaijan All-Party Parliamentary Group responded to the European Azerbaijan Society on Armenia’s illegal plans for Khojaly airport, APA reports.
The British MP said that the proposal to open the airport may have as much to do with low politics as high principle: “The right time to start talking about re-opening the airport is once the hostilities are over, and when the people who were expelled from their homes and who currently languish in displaced person camps are given the chance to return to their homes.”
