"Armenians can not open an international airport in Khankendi – the requirements of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) do not allow this," vice-president of Azerbaijan Airlines (AzAL) CJSC Sabir Ilyasov said.

Ilyasov said according to the ICAO, establishment of airport requires permission – license of the state, where it is located.

"There is no permission. Therefore, our Civil Aviation Administration expressed its position," he said.
