  Armavia to assist launch of flight to Stepanakert, but won't fly there May 11, 2011 - 15:12 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Owner of Armavia air company Mikhail Baghdasarov said the company contributes in every possible way to the launch of Yerevan-Stepanakert flight, but is not going to operate flights itself. Both the company and NKR authorities consider that Artsakh should have its own air company to operate Stepanakert-Yerevan flights, Baghdasarov said, answering a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter’s question whether Armavia will establish its flight to the NKR capital. He noted that the opening of Stepanakert airport is postponed, as it is necessary to expand the runway that will make the airport more respectable, allowing it to receive also big aircrafts.
