Karabakh considers Baku’s threats to shoot down civil aircrafts to be marasmusMarch 31, 2011 - 18:21 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - The head of the department of civil aviation at the Artsakh government, Dmitry Atbashyan said that the best reaction to Azerbaijan’s threats to shoot down civil aircrafts in Karabakh was Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan’s statement that he will be the first passenger of Yerevan-Stepanakert flight. “The threat of the director of Azerbaijan's Civil Aviation Administration to shoot down civil aircrafts is complete marasmus,” Atbashyan told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter. “In my opinion, the matter of expelling Azerbaijan from ICAO should be raised. Azerbaijan signed an international convention on unacceptability of civil aircrafts demolition. Moreover, it conducts flights to unrecognized Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, but tries to prevent flights to NKR,” concluded Atbashyan.
