The plane carrying 35 passengers was escorted by two Turkish jets to Ankara\'s Esenboga Airport for security checks on its cargo by Turkish officials, the agency reported. The A-320 plane was travelling from Moscow to Damascus when it was intercepted by Turkish authorities at around 1430 GMT, according to NTV news channel.
