    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ Yesterday Turkish authorities did not let the
    plane conveying the Macedonian National Football Team to Armenia. The
    footballers were coming to Yerevan to participate in an elimination
    match of the World Championship-2006 scheduled for June 4. The plane
    of MAT airlines remained in the Turkish airspace for half an hour 20
    kilometers short of the Armenian border and had to turn back. As A1
    Macedonian TV Company reported that yesterday Turkish authorities
    apologized to MAT airlines assuring that similar incidents will
    not take place any more. According to Utrensky Vestnik Macedonian
    newspaper, Ankara explains the incident by the fact that the "crew did
    not have appropriate documents for crossing the Turkish airspace." At
    the same time Makfax conditioned the incident by the tension available
    between Armenia and Turkey. Presently Macedonian Football Federation
    is searching for ways for conveying the team to Armenia via another
    air route avoiding Turkey.
