Azerbaijan's Foreign Ministry calls on “Turkish brothers” after the crash of a C-130 military transport plane in Georgia.
The ministry wrote about this on its page on the social network X.
“The news of the crash of the C-130 military transport plane, en route from Azerbaijan to brotherly Turkey and crashing on Georgian territory, deeply shocked us. In connection with this mourning, we express our deepest condolences to the brotherly Turkish people and the Turkish Armed Forces,” the statement said.
The day before, Georgian TV channel Imedi reported that a helicopter, probably belonging to the Turkish Armed Forces, had crashed on the Georgian-Azerbaijan border. The video shows an object falling from above and then exploding when it hits the ground.
Later, Türkiye clarified that a C-130 plane had crashed. There were said to be ten military personnel on board. The ship was transporting military personnel to participate in a military parade in Baku commemorating the end of the 44-day war in 2020.
