Azerbaijani authorities made it clear they are prepared to shoot down civilian aircraft bound for Nagorno-Karabakh's soon to be reopened Stepanakert airport. “According to the law on aviation, it is even possible to physically destroy airplanes which are heading there,” said Arif Mammadov, director of Azerbaijan’s Civil Aviation Administration. Nagorno-Karabakh (with its capital city of Stepanakert) is a breakaway province of Azerbaijan, de facto independent since 1991 and populated mostly by ethnic Armenians. Nagorno-Karabakh President’s spokesman David Babayan commented on Mammadov's comments, noting: “The international community must adequately respond to criminal statements of the kind.”
