Armenpress: Yerevan-Kapan flights in line with all international laws, concept of sovereignty – Armenian aviation authorities

 21:22,

YEREVAN, AUGUST 18, ARMENPRESS. NovAir airlines will launch Yerevan-Kapan passenger flights on the occasion of Kapan Day, on August 19, the Civil Aviation Committee announced Friday.

The airline will use a Let L-410 Turbolet aircraft to operate the roundtrip flights.

"The Kapan airport served more than 10 flights every day operated with Yak-40 planes in Soviet years. Back then, the flight approach, landing and climb [airways] partly passed through the airspace of Soviet Azerbaijan. However, since the reopening of the “Syunik” airport in Kapan, new modern airways were introduced, according to which the approach, climb and landing are carried out exclusively in Armenian airspace. According to the Convention on International Civil Aviation, every state has complete sovereignty over its airspace and the flights carried out in the given state’s territory are not subject to coordination with neighboring states. Information on flights that are carried out on the borderline of two countries is provided to the neighboring state as a notice, which the aviation authorities of the Republic of Armenia have been doing so far. The Republic of Armenia acts in line with the concept of sovereignty and international laws on civil aviation, which every member of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) is bound to strictly adhere to,” the Civil Aviation Committee said.

Shots were fired on August 18 from the territory of Azerbaijan in the direction of the "Syunik" airport in Kapan, the National Security Service of Armenia (NSS) said in a statement Friday.

The shooting happened hours after a plane carrying Prime Minister Pashinyan in Kapan on August 17.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
