The helicopter that crashed while carrying Iran’s president and foreign minister on Sunday did not have its signal system turned on or did not possess such a system, Turkish Transport Minister Abdulkadir Uraloglu said on Monday.
Uraloglu told reporters that since Iran fell within Turkey’s area of responsibility for emergency response, authorities had checked for a signal from the helicopter upon hearing news that it had crashed.
“But unfortunately, [we think] most likely the signal system was turned off or that the helicopter did not have that signal system,” he said.
