Sergey Minasyan: Baku will have to accept launch of Stepanakert airport
“After the Co-Chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group declared that MG does not object to the launch of Stepanakert Airport, it is clear that Baku could not continue to make such statements. It means that Baku will have to accept the launch of Stepanakert Airport,” political scientist, Deputy Director of the Caucasus Institute Sergey Minasyan told Panorama.am, when asked to comment on the change in Baku’s rhetoric about Stepanakert Airport.
“On the other hand, with NKR’s Air Force strong and comparable with Armenia’s Air Defense Force, I am not convinced that Azerbaijan will take any measures to bomb Stepanakert Airport, because the response of NKR’s Air Defense Force would be adequate,” the expert said.
