By empty (3/19/2003 issue of the CACI Analyst)
Azerbaijan Airline First Deputy General Director Sabir Ilyasov said Baku is ready and able to offer landing and refueling facilities to civilian aircraft on scheduled flights to the Near East and Middle East diverted as a result of the war in Iraq. Ilyasov said the number of civilian landings could be increased by up to 33 percent, but that no such requests have yet been received. Also on 19 March, an unnamed spokesman at the Iraqi Embassy in Baku declined to comment on unconfirmed reports that members of the United Azerbaijan Party have left for Iraq to participate in a \"human-shield\" action.Visit also
