Turkey has confirmed the deaths of all 20 soldiers aboard a C-130 military transport aircraft that crashed near Georgia’s border with Azerbaijan. The Turkish Defence Ministry released a statement confirming there were no survivors amid the wreckage scattered across the Sighnaghi municipality.
Defence Minister Yaşar Güler paid tribute to the fallen, calling them “heroic martyrs.” President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan expressed deep sorrow and extended condolences to the grieving families.
Joint Turkish-Georgian investigation teams have begun probing the cause of the disaster after the plane lost radar contact shortly after entering Georgian airspace. Witnesses reported a massive explosion and clouds of black smoke.
The crash marks Türkiye’s deadliest military aviation accident since 2020, drawing sympathy from world leaders, including those from Azerbaijan, Georgia, and Qatar.
