Turkey supports Azerbaijan's position over airport to be built in occupied Khankendi

Baku (Trend) - Turkey supports Azerbaijan’s position over an airport to be built by Armenia in the Azerbaijani occupied region of Khankendi, as this contradicts all international conventions.
"We have always supported Baku’s position," Turkish Ambassador to Azerbaijan Hulusi Kilic told journalists on Wednesday. "We are always close to Azerbaijan in all spheres and support its right fight. This issue must be addressed in the framework of the international law."
Kilic believes no steps disturbing Azerbaijani people must be taken.
Armenia has no right to operate the airport in Khankendi, built in the Azerbaijani occupied territories. This contradicts all international conventions and will not be allowed by any international organizations, including an influential organization such as the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), AZAL spokesman Maharram Safarli said on Monday.
It is necessary to obtain relevant documents and approval from the ICAO to operate the airport.
Azerbaijan has already informed the organization about inadmissibility of carrying out flights from this airport.
The Armenian side plans to open the airport in Khankendi in May.
