Keeping that Airport busy is a good thing and our military and civilian aircraft could start operating better.

It would never be a good idea. We have enough enemies. U want to add some suicide bombers?

Well we are not going to be the only country target of suicide bombers........we must take all precautions starting from dogs (they are good) to guards inside the terminal passed the first security check. Air marshals and security cokpit door.
A person could be checked several times before boarding especially someone alone and fighting age and one way ticket.

To add

Only ticked persons can be in the terminal area.

Security must start from passengers entering the airport area search and checked the car and the people for explosives.

The whole airport area must be fenced with barb wires, a road with airport police patrols with cars that circles the airport premises.

security badges for employees with access restrictions.

Cameras everywhere.

What terrorists?! Are they talking about Syria? When will we stop providing our assets to Russia in return for nothing?

terrorist is just a political code word countries use to justify military/political action. Russia doesn't have any use for Stepanakert's tiny airport. With that said, if something like that actually did happen, it would be a big victory for us. Any use of the airport gives the country further legitimacy, and would make it much more feasible for us to use it, and if that use is being carried out by the worlds second biggest military power, it means that much more.

The only way Russia can justify using this airport is for peacekeeping action in Artsakh. Other than that it would be a big political mess.

The only way I see to start using that airport is when Armenia transfers its S300 systems to Artsakh(as upgrades are done after establishing joint air defense with Russia).
Then Artsakh will declare that it is starting flights from airport and in an event, when Azeris shoot any airplane, Artsakh will target whole of Azerbaijanis air traffic, including civilian.
But let's face it, the airport is not so badly needed for Artsakh to do all that. That is why until now it has not been used. It's not only the threats from Azerbaijan.
That airport is a political chip, that we keep ready to use.

Why?

It is an airfield on navigation charts. Russians flying in will stop the threat of Azeris shooting down Armenian passenger jets. Our Terrorists are Azeris.
The airfield can be used for an emergency landings, flight schools for civilians. We want to make the Azeri radar infested with traffic return, screen lighting up with many planes in air around the airport.

Anybody is welcome to land at Spenakart foreign aircrafts on flight plan and in contact with Armenian airspace controllers and contact with the airport tower controller. This runway should be equiped with ILS landing system and a VOR approach in bad weather and low visibility conditions.
