An Armenian cargo plane was finally allowed to fly on to Syria after
being grounded and searched in Turkey for several hours, Turkish
media reported on Thursday.
Earlier today, the plane destined for the city of Aleppo touched down
in the Turkish city of Erzurum for an inspection of its cargo.
The plane was eventually allowed to continue on its way after the
search confirmed that it was carrying humanitarian aid as stated by
Armenian officials.
The incident was the latest in the series of such groundings in the
past two months.
Armenian jet bound for Syria made planned landing in Turkey
The Armenian cargo jet carrying humanitarian aid to Syria's Armenian
population made a planned landing at Turkey's Erzurum Airport, its
owner AIR Armenia has told the press.
The An-12 plane was reportedly grounded in eastern Turkey on its
way to Syria Thursday. The landing was agreed upon, a spokesperson
with AIR Armenia said. The aircraft's cargo was allegedly seized for
inspection. Ankara hasn't commented on the jet's grounding.
This is the second time an Armenian plane has been forced to land at
Turkey's Erzurum airfield after a Yerevan-Aleppo jet was force-landed
and later released on October 15.
Turkey grounds Armenian jet bound for Syria
An Armenian cargo plane transporting humanitarian aid to Syria was
grounded early Thursday at Turkey's Erzurum Airport, local media
report.
NTV news channel says its cargo was seized by Turkish authorities. The
jet is currently being inspected. Ankara hasn't explained this
measure yet.
This is the second Armenian plane to be grounded at Erzurum airport
following the previous incident last month.
Ankara earlier said that it would search all planes travelling to
Syria in order to prevent illegal arms supplies.
