Syria-Bound Armenian Plane Forced To Land In Eastern Turkey
10/15/2012 9:26 AM ET
Turkey on Monday forced a Syria-bound Armenian cargo plane to land at
an airport in the eastern city of Erzurum, media reports citing
Turkish officials said.
The Armenian plane was on its way to Syria's Aleppo city carrying
humanitarian cargo when it forced to land in Erzurum province for
security check.
The plane was later allowed to continue its journey to Aleppo, Turkish
Deputy Prime Minister Bulent Arinc said.
Turkey is on heightened vigil to prevent its air space being used to
supply the Syrian military, and had force landed a Syrian airliner
flying from Moscow last Wednesday, alleging it was carrying Russian
military hardware for the Syrian regime of embattled President Bashar
al-Assad.
