 Armenian plane takes off after security checks in Turkey

YEREVAN, Armenia, Oct. 15 (Xinhua) -- An Armenian cargo¹ plane had resumed its flight to Aleppo, Syria, after being forced to land by Turkey for security checks, local media Armenpress reported Monday.

The plane, carrying humanitarian² aid, was forced to land earlier Monday in Turkey's eastern city of Erzurum, according to the Turkish Foreign Ministry³.
