Turkish military aircraft violate Armenia's airspace

PanARMENIAN.Net - Turkish helicopters violated Armenia's airspace several days ago, the head of Civil Aviation Department said in an interview with Hraparak.

“Turkish military aircraft violated Armenia’s airspace on October 6-7 for 2-4 minutes; certain measures were taken in accordance with special procedures,” Artyom Movsisyan said. “Dispatcher at Armats, the Armenian Air Traffic Services agency, took corresponding steps to identify the aircraft.”

The Ankara dispatcher told the Armenian one that military passenger helicopters had crossed the border, but had quickly left without advancing into Armenia’s territory.

“The Ankara dispatcher also said the Turkish helicopters entered Armenia’s airspace because of bad weather,” Hraparak quotes Movsisyan as saying.
