YEREVAN. - A cargo plane loaded with fifteen tons of food headed from
Armenia to Aleppo, Syria, on Monday morning.
But before arriving in Aleppo, the aircraft, which is filled with food
collected at the initiative of the `Help Your Brother' social
movement - which was formed about one month ago - , first landed in
Erzurum, Turkey, for a technical inspection, CEO Arsen Avetisyan of
Air Armenia Company, which conducts air cargo transport, told RFE/RL
Armenian service.
Turkey had informed the company that it will allow the aircraft's use
of Turkish air space solely on the condition that it is permitted to
inspect the plane's cargo.
The `Help Your Brother' social movement is sending groats, sugar, oil,
vegetable oil, jam, pasta, and canned food to Syria.
After the inspection in Turkey, the aircraft is expected to land in
Aleppo in several hours.
