Turkey Eases Armenia Flight Quota

TURKEY EASES ARMENIA FLIGHT QUOTA

United Press International
Aug 19 2008

ISTANBUL, Turkey, Aug. 19 (UPI) — Turkey announced it was increasing
the number of airline flights in and out Armenia that will be allowed
to transit Turkish airspace.

The newspaper Hurriyet said the move was made to facilitate
humanitarian assistance and evacuations from Georgia.

Prior to the current crisis in Georgia air traffic was generally
routed over that troubled region.

It was not clear Tuesday if the new rules would be in place by
Sept. 6 when Turkey and Armenia square off in a World Cup soccer
qualifying match.
