A Karabakh war hero said Azeri threats to shoot down Stepanakert-bound civil planes are empty ones.

“Azeris won’t dare do that. This is just another instance of Baku’s intimidation policy,” Arkady Ter-Tadevosyan (Commandos) said.

As he noted, Azeri planes have repeatedly crossed the airspace of Armenia and Karabakh. “Should we shoot them down too?” he questioned.

As Commandos noted, in case of a forced landing of Artsakh bound-planes, the republic will respond in kind.
