“Let Armenia withdraw its troops from Nagorno Karabakh, then if necessary flights may be operated even to New York,” Azerbaijan’s Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov said at the press conference, APA reports. Commenting on Armenian president’s statement that flights will be surely operated from Khojaly airport, Foreign Minister said according to the international law, it is banned to operate flights to the occupied territories.
“Though Armenia states that these flights have humanitarian purposes, this is an illegal move. If Armenia wants to operate flights, it should first of all withdraw its troops from the occupied territories. We have repeatedly expressed our position to OSCE Minsk Group and international organizations,” he said.
