Turkey has announced that it will ban
all Syrian aircraft from its air space from Sunday. It follows a similar
move by Damascus on Saturday, closing Syrian air space to Turkish
planes.
-
The Syrian government took the decision after Turkey forced a
Syrian passenger plane to land on Wednesday, on suspicion that it was
carrying Russian-made weapons. The plane carrying 35 passengers and 2
crew was allowed to leave Turkey, but the suspected cargo was seized.
Syria's Foreign Ministry has denied the plane was carrying illegal
military supplies and demanded Turkey return the cargo.
Russia says the
cargo consisted of radar equipment, and not weapons.
