On of the separatist leaders of Karabakh Arthur Tovmasyan has appealed to US President Joe Baiden,Russian President Vladimir Putin,French President Emmanuel Macron either launching Khankendi airport or opening Lachin corridor.A.Tovmasyan has claimed that since December 12 last year Azerbaijan ecoactivists have blocked only road connecting Karabakh with Armenia and as a result of this protest action there is expected “humanitarian catastrophe”in Karabakh.However we know that through Russian peacekeeping forces Karabakh Armenians are supplied with necessary medication,food and health services.
A question is that why Armenians are eager to activate Khankendi airport…

Firstly,the international body regulating passenger air travel,the Intenational Civil Aviation Organisation effectively recognizes Azerbaijan’sauthority over the airport.It means that Azerbaijan can veto any plans to start civilian flights.And of course,A.Tovmosyan,AArutyunyan and R.Vardanyan know this fact.But the separatist leaders of unrecognized Karabakh administration insist on this.

Secondly,during the occupation of Karabakh Armenia could not open Khankendi airport.Yes,of course,they made an effort to open this airport but this was not easy enough.On the other hand,Azerbaijani government officials had many times warned that they could shoot down planes.Right know,Azerbaijan has plan to open three airports in Karabakh Economic Region.Fuzuli and Zengilan airports are ready.

It is fact that Russia will also use Khankendi airport for its military purposes.But Azerbaijan wants the airport be used solely for the needs of Russian peacekeepers,while Russia is pushing for it to include cargo flights to Armenia.
