Armenian plane takes off after security checks in Turkey
YEREVAN, Armenia, Oct. 15 (Xinhua) -- An Armenian cargo plane had
resumed its flight to Aleppo, Syria, after being forced to land by
Turkey for security checks, local media Armenpress reported Monday.
The plane, carrying humanitarian aid, was forced to land earlier
Monday in Turkey's eastern city of Erzurum, according to the Turkish
Foreign Ministry.
Armenian foreign ministry spokesman Tigran Balayan said the landing
was pre-arranged and accorded with a preliminary agreement with
Turkey.
Monday's landing comes after Turkey and Syria shut down their airspace
to each other's civilian flights at the weekend due to increasing
tension on the border.
