Washington supports Turkey’s decision to close airspace for Syrian aircrafts, State Department said.

During the Monday briefing Spokesperson for State Department Victoria Nuland said they “support the decision that Turkey has made in light of the apparent violation of their airspace by this [Moscow-Damascus] aircraft.”

“We are encouraging all of Syria’s neighbors to be vigilant with regard to how their airspace is used, particularly now that we have this concrete example,” she said adding that Turkey has been open to granting humanitarian exceptions.

“One in particular, they recently granted approval for an Armenian flight to deliver – to overfly Turkey on the condition that it would land and be inspected.”
