Baku / 08.04.19 / Turan: The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Azerbaijan has denied reports by a number of German media on the closure of an air corridor for NATO aircraft flying to Afghanistan.

She called unfounded similar publications in the German media, which indicate a biased attitude towards Azerbaijan.
According to Spiegel, the Bundeswehr military personnel cannot use the aircraft of the German Air Force for flights to Afghanistan, and has to use American military transport aircraft C-17.
