YEREVAN (TASS)—Turkish military helicopters entered Armenian air space twice in recent days, Armenia’s civil aviation department told TASS news agency on Saturday.
“On October 6 and 7 transport helicopters of Turkey’s Armed Forces violated the air space of Armenia,” a source told TASS.
“Air traffic controllers of the Arm-aeronavigation company have gotten in contact with their Turkish counterparts, who referred to bad weather,” the source said, noting that the country’s air border was breached in the direction of the city of Armavir, some 48 kilometres from Yerevan, and that the helicopters were en route from Igdir to Kars in Turkey’s east, bordering Armenia.
