ArmInfo.The US House of Representatives adopted the initiative of Congressman Breda Sherman to make a legislative amendment, according to which, the United States is prohibited to provide military equipment to Azerbaijan, which can be used by Baku to destroy civilian aircraft departing from Nagorno-Karabakh airport.
"This amendment will send a strong signal to Baku that Azerbaijan will no longer be able to threaten civilian aircraft flying to Artsakh and vice versa. Azerbaijan should not be allowed to continue terrorizing its neighbors," Sherman said earlier. 234 congressmen voted "for" this legislative initiative, "against" 195. It should be noted that in March 2011, the Director of the Civil Aviation Administration of Azerbaijan, Arif Mammadov, said that the Azerbaijani government had warned the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) that it did not authorize flights to Nagorno-Karabakh, and noted that, according to the law on aviation, destroy planes heading there.
