Armenia: Azerbaijani Airliner Lands in Yerevan

My The Caucasian Knot comments on yesterday's arrival of an Azerbaijani passenger plane flying directly between Baku and Yerevan. Carrying the American, Russian and French co-chairs charged with the task of mediating between Armenia and Azerbaijan in an attempt to find a solution to the Nagorno Karabakh, such flights have only been possible since late 2006 — except for one time in the middle of the war between the two countries when Azerbaijani mafia bosses visited Armenia to pay their last respects to a local mobster killed in a Moscow prison.
