A devastating incident occurred as a Turkish C-130 cargo aircraft crashed in Georgia, resulting in the loss of all 20 military personnel on board. The aircraft was en route from Azerbaijan to Turkey when it went down, leaving behind a visible trail of white smoke that was captured on video. The tragedy prompted heartfelt condolences from Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan, who referred to the deceased as 'our martyrs.' The aircraft reportedly spiraled down before crashing into a mountain, creating plumes of thick black smoke, as shown in viral media footage. Local reports indicated that both Turkish and Azerbaijani military members were on the flight. During a speech in Ankara, President Erdogan expressed his sorrow upon receiving news of the crash, hoping for minimal hardships in overcoming this disaster. He offered prayers for the souls of the fallen. While the cause of the accident remains under investigation, Turkey’s Defence Ministry reported that the crash took place near the border of Georgia and Azerbaijan, and they are working collaboratively with Georgian officials to reach the site of the incident. Turkish Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya has been in communication with his Georgian counterpart, who is en route to the location. A joint search and rescue operation is currently underway with the help of Azerbaijani and Georgian authorities. The crash site is located in the Sighnaghi municipality of Georgia, near the Azerbaijani frontier. C-130 military cargo planes are commonly utilized by the Turkish armed forces for personnel transport and logistical support, reflecting the close military ties between Turkey and Azerbaijan. As the investigation progresses, the focus remains on honoring the victims and providing assistance to their families.
