"According to the published Standard Instrument Arrival procedure, an aircraft has to intercept the Initial Approach Fix (IAF), the POK VOR located at the old airport, at a heading of 087° and then turn right for runway 12. Distance from the IAF to the runway threshold is 2,4 km (1.3 nm)."

The old airport is just over a mile away in a straight line from the new airport's runway 12. You have to overfly the old airport to make it to the new runway. Nothing is "wrong" about that...
