Air Armenia plane landing in Turkey coordinated with Yerevan - FM
YEREVAN October 15
Air Armenia aircraft, which flew to Syria, made a landing in Turkey's
Erzurum as was previously agreed with Yerevan, Armenian Foreign
Ministry spokesman Tigran Balaian said on Monday.
The landing in Turkey was not a surprise for Armenia. "The landing of
the aircraft, carrying humanitarian cargoes to the Syrian city of
Aleppo, was made routinely and as previously agreed," the Armenian
diplomat said.
The An-12 Armenian aircraft, which made the Yerevan-Aleppo flight, has
landed in the Turkish city of Erzurum, Air Armenia director Arsen
Avetisyan said.
He said Turkey circulated reports in mass media that it had forced the
Armenian aircraft to make a landing.
Despite the 330-long km common border, Armenia and Turkey have not
established diplomatic relations yet. Ankara demands Yerevan give up
its position on the genocide of Armenians in 1915 and on support for
Nagorno-Karabakh in the conflict with Azerbaijan.
