ArmInfo. The air corridor of Turkey has been partially closed for
Armenia, spokeswoman of the Chief Department of RA Civil Aviation
(CDCA) Gayane Davtyan told ArmInfo.
She said that Turkey partially closed the air corridor for the flights,
carried out by "Armavia" by the route Yerevan-Aleppo-Yerevan and
Yerevan-Beirut-Yerevan, for an indefinite time. By information of the
Turkish Navigation Service, these flights are banned for the Armenian
aircrafts for technical reasons. To note, earlier, an information was
received that the air corridor of Turkey has been completely closed
for the Armenian aircrafts started November 13, while it is apparent
for the independent observers that partial closing of the transport
corridor by Turkey has become Ankara’s response to activation of the
process of the international recognition of the Armenian Genocide in
Ottoman Turkey in 1915.
