Ambassador: Opening flight to Armenia by private company should not discredit Turkey’s stance

The opening of a flight to Armenia by a private company should not discredit Turkey's official position, Ambassador of Turkey to Azerbaijan Ismail Alper Joshgun told reporters, commenting on the opening of the Van - Yerevan flight.

"As far as I know, this flight is operated by a private Turkish company. There are no legal restrictions on such a service in Turkey, so its implementation is possible," he said.

It is not correct to cast doubt on Turkey's official position, the ambassador stressed.

No other country supports Azerbaijan in the way Turkey does.

"Turkey's policy provides for the closure of the border with Armenia. Everyone is aware of the position of the Prime Minister, the President, the Speaker of Parliament, the Minister of Foreign Affairs and all officials of Turkey," he added.

Earlier, several media outlets reported that regular Yerevan-Van flights will begin on April 3.
