Turkey’s airspace to remain open for Russia: Cavusoglu

It is imperative that Turkey’s airspace remains open, the country's foreign minister said on Friday amid numerous airspace bans on Russia by Western countries over the situation in Ukraine.

"It is important not only for Turkey, but also for the countries that impose these sanctions (on Russia) and their citizens, that this airspace is open ... both in strategic and humanitarian terms," Mevlut Cavusoglu said following a meeting of top NATO diplomats.

Turkey has good ties with both Russia and Ukraine and has called for a peaceful resolution to the military conflict.
