Armenian Plane Forced to Land in Turkey for Inspection

Ankara, October 15 (QNA) – A plane en route from Armenia to Syria has
been grounded at an airport in Turkey’s eastern province of Erzurum to
examine its cargo on Monday.

Diplomatic sources said that the plane en route to Aleppo from Armenia
was grounded while in the Turkish airspace.

Turkish authorities confiscated part of the cargo aboard a plane for
examination, according to Turkish (Anadolu) news agency.

The plane was defined as a civilian humanitarian aid plane.

Sources stated that the plane would continue its way to Aleppo if its
cargo is not contrary to civilian aviation rules.

In Turkey, a Syrian passenger plane had been forced to land at
Ankara’s Esenboga Airport on October 10. Turkish F-16s forced down
Airbus A320, which was flying from Moscow to Damascus, over suspicions
that it had weapons on board. (QNA)
