An incident on his plane forces Pedro Sánchez to land in Turkey while en route to Armenia
A technical incident on the official plane carrying the Spanish President, Pedro Sánchez, to Armenia to participate in the European Political Community summit has forced him to make a landing in the Turkish capital, Ankara. The Airbus A310 carrying Sánchez and his delegation departed from Torrejón de Ardoz air base in Madrid shortly before 4:00 PM local time (6:00 PM GMT) bound for the Armenian capital, where nearly fifty leaders from countries within this forum will meet on Monday.
