Turkish fighter jets forced a Syrian plane flying from Moscow to
Damascus to land in Ankara last week. Various sources estimated the
number of passengers from 25 to 35, among them 17 Russians.
The Turkish media said the search of the plane revealed communication
equipment, radios and jamming devices. The equipment was seized and
the plane was permitted to continue its flight.
It was reported last week that the Russian sender of the cargo
transported by the Syrian plane and detained by Turkey would demand
the cargo's return because the shipping documents and the cargo
parameters were legal.
