Armenian side did not answer to the official Baku’s protest on illegal flights to airport in Azerbaijan’s occupied Khankendi city, Director of State Civil Aviation Administration of Azerbaijan Republic Arif Mammadov said.

According to him, Armenians suspended the flights to Khankendi on May 9 after Azerbaijan’s statement on taking measures against planes flying to Khankendi and these statements remain in force: "Our statements remain in force. We’ll not allow flights to Khankendi. It’s Azerbaijan’s territory and every measure will be taken against planes flying to Khankendi without permission of official Baku".

Note that, Armenians restored the airport in Azerbaijani occupied Khankendi city again. Though the first flights from Yerevan to Khankendi have been planned on May 9, they were postponed because of technical reasons. Azerbaijani side declared that each flight to the occupied territories would be prevented, even physical annihilation measures would be taken toward the planes flying to the area.
