15. I did not find the 20 minute duration for the stop at the reuters link.

The NY Times reported it as an 8-hour stay:

Russian authorities were “disturbed” that the Turkish side did not inform its embassy that Russian citizens were being held at the airport, and did not allow diplomats to speak to Russian passengers for an eight-hour period, Foreign Ministry spokesman Aleksandr Lukashevich said in a written statement.

The passengers were not allowed to wait in the airport building, though they were occasionally allowed to leave the aircraft for the runway, and were not given food, the statement said.

Vnukovo Airport spokeswoman Yelena Krylova told Interfax the regular weekly flight to Damascus had 25 people on board and left 20 minutes after its scheduled departure time.

The only "scheduled departure time" that flight had was from Vnukovo Airport since it was not scheduled to land in and depart from Ankara.
