Turkey lets Armenian plane continue journey to Syria-deputy PM
Oct 15 (Reuters) – Turkey has given the all clear for an Armenian
plane to continue on its journey to the Syrian city of Aleppo after
ordering it to land in eastern Turkey so its cargo of humanitarian aid
could be searched, Deputy Prime Minister Bulent Arinc said on Monday.
Ankara has stepped up efforts to prevent its air space being used to
supply the Syrian military and forced down a Syrian airliner
travelling from Moscow last Wednesday, saying it was carrying Russian
munitions destined for Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s military.
