Artsakh Airport is the airport of Stepanakert, the capital of Nagorno Karabach. Since Nagorno Karabach seceded from Azerbaijan in 1994 the airport has not seen any planes arriving nor departing. Nagorno Karabach is not internationally recognized which makes it an impossible destination for aircompanies. Moreover Azerbaijan, which is very close, threatens to attack all airplanes that fly over Nagorno Karabach which it still sees as its territory.
