Damascus last night decided to close its air space to Turkish airplanes, the Syrian national news agency SANA has reported.
The report said the decision had been taken by the Foreign Ministry in response to Turkey’s recent forcing of an airplane to land in Ankara on suspicion that it was carrying weapons to al-Assad regime forces.
Turkey has not yet declared any restrictions on Syrian airplanes flying in Turkish air space.
