Baku reserves right to “respond” to launch of Yerevan-Van flights

PanARMENIAN.Net - 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 Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry Spokesman Elman Abdullayev stated, commenting on media reports suggesting possible launch of Yerevan-Van flights, Trend News reported.

Abdullayev, however, failed to specify how exactly the launch of Yerevan-Van flights infringes on Azerbaijan’s national interests, or what “response” is to be expected.

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