Sitalchay ((アゼルバイジャン語:Sitalçay)) Military Airbase is a military airbase located in the East of Azerbaijan, near the Caspian Sea. It is located 70 km North-West of the capital Baku in Sitalchay, a village and municipality in the Khizi Rayon.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Azerbaijan Disputes Story On Azerbaijani-Israeli Military Collaboration Against Iran )〕 The airbase is fenced and guarded but has not been operational since 1992. == History == The Sitalchay air base was the location of the first Soviet Air Forces Sukhoi Su-25 unit. The first eleven production aircraft were assigned to the 80th or 60th Separate Assault Aviation Regiment, based at Sitalchay, in April 1981. In June 1981 the 200th Separate Assault Aviation Squadron was formed at Sitalchay and then deployed to Afghanistan. In the late 1980s and early 1990s it became a base for a regiment of Su-25s of the 34th Air Army of the Soviet Air Forces. In August 1992, despite the provisions of the Tashkent Treaty which directed an orderly transfer of ex-Soviet forces to the republics, Azeri troops seized the entire regiment and its aircraft.〔Patrick Gorman, (The Emerging Army in Azerbaijan ), Central Asia Monitor No.1, 1993〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sitalchay Military Airbase」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
