Description

A ceremony was held on Friday for 20 Turkish military personnel who were killed when a military cargo plane crashed this week near the Georgia-Azerbaijan border.

The C-130 cargo aircraft had left Azerbaijan for Turkey and crashed on Tuesday in an incident marking the NATO member's highest military death toll since 2020. It was carrying a 10-person maintenance team for Turkish F-16s that had earlier taken part in Victory Day celebrations in Azerbaijan, as well as the flight crew and maintenance equipment, the defence ministry said.
