As Araz Azimov noted, commenting on the statement made by CSTO Secretary General, “we can take Nikolay Bordyuzha’s remark only as a bad joke. Azerbaijan does not intend to shoot down civil airplanes.” “But the Chicago Convention has certain rules which the Azerbaijani government has endorsed. Landing the airplane in a certain airport to prevent illegal flights is one of them,” Azeri media cited Azimov as saying.   Top stories Six total incidents have burned 19 old-growth trees.
