Turkey Sends the Black Box of the Mourned Aircraft to a Neutral Country

SadaNews - Turkish Minister of Transport Abdulkadir Uraloglu announced that the black box of the private plane that crashed in Ankara, carrying a high-level Libyan military delegation, will be sent to a "neutral" country.

The Turkish minister stated on the "X" platform that the "cockpit voice recorder and flight data recorder will be sent to a third neutral country for examination," in order to "ensure that impartial results are reached regarding the cause of the plane crash."

Uraloglu added: "After the examination, our people and the whole world will be informed about the details of the incident with complete transparency."

On Wednesday, Turkish Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya announced that authorities had found the cockpit recordings and data of the aircraft that crashed in Ankara, resulting in the death of the Chief of Staff of the Libyan Government of National Unity, Mohamed Al-Hadad, and other military leaders.

He told reporters in Ankara that an investigation is underway to clarify the circumstances of the incident.

The Turkish Ministry of Interior stated that the crew of the aircraft, consisting of three individuals, also lost their lives, along with the Libyan military personnel.

The Libyan Presidential Council and the Prime Minister of the Government of National Unity, Abdelhamid Dbeibeh, mourned the Chief of Staff Mohamed Al-Hadad, Chief of Ground Forces Vitoury Gharibiel, Director of Military Manufacturing Mahmoud Al-Qatioui, and their companions, following the crash of the plane that was transporting them back to Tripoli after an official mission from Ankara.

The "Falcon 50" aircraft reported a technical problem shortly after taking off from Ankara on its way to Tripoli on Tuesday, according to Yerlikaya.

Contact was lost with the aircraft shortly afterward, and it crashed in the Hayamana area south of the Turkish capital.
