Moscow will deliver aid to Syria avoiding Greek airspace
September 8, 2015
Russia plans to use an air route to the east of Greece to transport aid into Syria, Reuters quoted a Greek government spokesman as saying Tuesday. The change would mean the use of Greek airspace for such flights is no longer an issue. However, the Greek Foreign Ministry has not so far confirmed that Moscow has decided to deliver aid to Syria avoiding Greek airspace. On Monday, a ministry spokesman said that Washington had asked Greece to deny Russia the use of Greek airspace for the flights.
