Baku reserves right to respond should Turkey-Armenia flights open

"Azerbaijan does not interfere in the two countries’ relations, but Baku reserves the right to respond in the case of an infringement in the country’s national interests," First Secretary of the Foreign Ministry Spokesman Elman Abdullayev said.

He made the statement while commenting on media reports about regular flights possibly opening along the Yerevan-Van route.

The Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry follows the further developments in the issue of opening the Yerevan-Van flights and will react depending on the further scenario, Abdullayev said.

Van Trade-Industry Chamber Council Chairman Abdullah Tuncdemir said the first Yerevan-Van flight maybe performed on Sept.11, the Armenian media reported.

"If everything runs on the schedule, the first flight, which will launch regular flights between Yerevan and Van, will be performed on Sept.11," he said

Tuncdemir leads a delegation of 30 businessmen from Van, who arrived in Yerevan.

"First, it is planned to open a charter flight. If all goes according to plan, we will begin direct flights from Yerevan to Van," the source said.
