not border
Kapan airport is not on border. Kapan city, Kapan airport limits with the liberated territories, armenian lands, KASHATAGH province.
Unknown Status
It appears this airport serves a mine, but I don't know if it is operational or not.
Closed!
I just passed this airport and it is definitely closed. The runway is overgrown, the tarmac cracked, the airport is unfenced and cows and sheep are desperately trying to clear the runway from shrubs and grass.

Reply to @david:
I am from there. This is a civilian airport and its not functioning because of the war between Arm and Aze. The airport is right on the border.
re: Closed?
According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kapan#Transportation the airport closed because of the Karabakh war. Updating ...
Still maintained?
I'm curious if this is still maintained as an emergency highway landing strip.
Probably closed
Looks like another former Soviet airstrip. The runway pavement is seriously decayed.
Closed?
There are no markings and no signs of aircraft, but the pavement looks like it may still be usable. I'm guessing this is another former Soviet airbase.
Closed
This airport appears to be closed -- the outline of the former runway is barely visible in the satellite view.
Closed?
From the advanced decay of the runway pavement, it looks like this airstrip (former Soviet airbase?) is closed. Can anyone confirm?
Former Soviet Base?
This looks like an abandoned Soviet airbase. There are no longer any markings on the runway, and some tracks seem to cross it, but it still looks usable. Does anyone know if this airstrip is still open?
