Cypriot Flight Attendant Released and Leaves Turkey

A Cypriot flight attendant who was detained by Turkish authorities in connection with the crash of the Libyan Falcon aircraft in Ankara has been released and has already left Turkey. Nicosia was informed about the detention from the beginning. The case came to light following a Turkish media report linking the flight attendant to the crew of the ill-fated plane, stating that the detention occurred following initiatives by MIT. Two French citizens were among the deceased on board the aircraft. According to initial information, the flight attendant did not appear to be involved in the incident, as no "concrete" evidence emerged against her during the investigation.
