Azerbaijan: Azerbaijan's blocking of airspace "attempt to hamper NATO supplies to Afghanistan"

PanARMENIAN.Net - Azerbaijan has blocked airspace for a Yerevan-bound plane carrying Armenian peacekeepers who completed their mission within a German contingent in Kunduz province of Afghanistan. The crew had to choose another route.

The Armenian Defense Ministry eyes the incident as an attempt to hamper NATO military supplies to Afghanistan.

The Defense Ministry discusses adequate measures, including ban on use of Armenian airspace by planes carrying military goods to Baku.

Earlier, Armenia has always kept its airspace open for the planes flying from Turkey to Azerbaijan and then to Afghanistan.
