Comment by @Thozi on Dzhermuk Airport, Armenia:

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.

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.

I'm curious if this is still maintained as an emergency highway landing strip.

Comment by @david on Mets Mazrik Airstrip, Armenia:

Looks like another former Soviet airstrip. The runway pavement is seriously decayed.

Comment by @david on Kapan Airport, Armenia:

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.

Comment by @david on Gavar Airport, Armenia:

This airport appears to be closed -- the outline of the former runway is barely visible in the satellite view.

Comment by @david on Dzhermuk Airport, Armenia:

From the advanced decay of the runway pavement, it looks like this airstrip (former Soviet airbase?) is closed. Can anyone confirm?

Comment by @david on Berd Airport, Armenia:

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?
