Jordan’s Ministry of Foreign and Expatriates Affairs expressed deep condolences on Tuesday to the government and people of Turkey following the crash of a Turkish military cargo plane.
Spokesperson Fouad Majali conveyed Jordan’s solidarity with Turkey, affirming the Kingdom’s full support for both the Turkish government and its citizens during this difficult time.
Majali also extended sympathies to the families of the victims and wished a swift recovery for those injured in the incident.
A Turkish military cargo aircraft carrying 20 personnel crashed in Georgia on Tuesday while returning from Azerbaijan, the Turkish Defence Ministry confirmed.
"Our C-130 military cargo plane, which took off from Azerbaijan to return home, has crashed at the Georgia-Azerbaijan border," the ministry said in a statement, confirming all 20 passengers, including the flight crew, were on board. Search and rescue operations are ongoing.
Dramatic footage shared by Azerbaijani media appeared to show the plane spinning out of control before hitting the ground, sending up a large cloud of black smoke. Other images purportedly from the crash site showed charred wreckage burning as bystanders watched from nearby fields.
