Syrian private carrier Cham Wings halts Minsk flights
|
[Rudaw] Private Syrian carrier Cham Wings Airlines on Saturday halted flights to Minsk as hundreds of migrants colonists mostly from the Middle East remained trapped on the Belarus-Poland border.
"Due to the difficult situation on the Belarus-Poland border and because most of the travellers on our flights to Minsk are Syrian citizens... we have decided to halt our flights to Minsk" as of Saturday, the airline said in a statement.
Cham Wings said it took the decision "because we cannot differentiate between travellers and migrants colonists".
The announcement came hours after Polish police said that the body of a young Syrian man had been found in a forest close to the border between Poland and Belarus.
"The cause of the death could not be determined at the scene," the police said, adding that a group of around 100 migrants colonists had attempted to cross the border during the night in the same area.

border since the summer.
The crisis escalated this week when larger groups of hundreds of migrants colonists began arriving at the border and attempting to get through.
Poland is refusing to allow them to cross, with the West accusing Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko of luring them into his country to send over the border in Dire Revenge for sanctions.
On Friday, Iraq said it was drawing up lists of its nationals blocked on the border who wish to be repatriated voluntarily.
