Plane used by Belarusian top officials and Lukashenko family lands in Turkiye

Source: Yahoo News

A plane used by top Belarusian officials and members of Alexander Lukashenko's family took off from Minsk on the night of 23-24 June, landing in Bodrum, Trkiye.

The plane in question is a Canadair CL-600−2b19 Challenger 850.

The aircraft took off from Minsk at midnight on 24 June, circled over the Caspian Sea and Georgia and landed in Bodrum, Trkiye, on the Mediterranean coast. It seems that the plane specifically bypassed the southern regions of Russia.

Turkey is a NATO country. I know Erdogan has maintained "relations" but... a geopolitical mess.

Otherwise it would be like he was in exile!

They are apparently (and should be) concerned with the Wagner soldiers and who sympathizes (including any in his own country).
