Azerbaijanis land in Yerevan amid Iran airspace closures

PanARMENIAN.Net - Several Armenian citizens and ethnic Armenians landed in Baku Airport while Azerbaijani nationals arrived in Yerevan, following regional flight diversions.

The National Security Service (NSS) of Armenia has reported that, due to the closure of the airspace over Iran and neighboring countries, several international flights have been forced to land at Zvartnots International Airport in Yerevan and at airports in other regional countries.

"As a result of this situation, Armenian citizens and ethnic Armenians have ended up at Baku Airport, the capital of Azerbaijan. At the same time, Azerbaijani nationals have landed at Zvartnots Airport due to the same circumstances," the NSS stated.

It emphasized that Armenian state institutions are undertaking consistent measures to address the situation.
