Turkish authorities force Armenian jet to land
Turkish authorities forced an Armenian airliner to land at Erzurum Airport in the east of the country on Monday. A search of the aircraft is underway, according to Turkey's NTV television.
The jet was on its way from Yerevan, the Armenian capital, to Aleppo with a cargo of humanitarian aid, CNN-Turk said, quoting Turkish Foreign Ministry sources. The Turkish government was told of the nature of the cargo but decided to search the plane anyway, CNN-Turk reported.
