Armavia will not carry out flights to Stepanakert, said Michael Baghdasarov, company's director and owner of Mika Limited. "Stepanakert airport will very probably operate without us, since it's an independent state which has its aviation," he said.

Armavia's General Director Norayr Belluryan had earlier announced about company's plans to launch regular flights to NKR capital.
Airport in Stepanakert will be ready for operation in March-May 2010, Baghdasarov said. "The country's leadership is doing its utmost for bringing airport in compliance with international standards and is thoroughly preparing to launch it," he added.
