Officials in Nagorno-Karabakh are now saying that the self-declared republic’s airport – which has already been a flashpoint of regional tension and controversy – will open “next week”.
The announcement has dominated Armenian media since Wednesday, when the head of civil aviation in the internationally-unrecognized NKR Government stated that flights will begin, and that the airport just outside capital Stepanakert will serve 100 passengers per hour with flights on “Artsakh Air”.
