Georgia’s Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili paid a condolence visit to the Turkish Embassy in Tbilisi after two devastating earthquakes hit Kahramanmaraş. The Georgian government has pledged 1 million lari ($373,000) in aid for the disaster victims, coming from its provident fund for the purchase of medicines, food, clothing, medical supplies, and other necessary materials. Prime Minister Garibashvili expressed his strong solidarity with the Republic of Türkiye.
An Azerbaijan Airlines (AZAL) Airbus A320 flying from St. Petersburg to Baku was forced to return shortly after takeoff due to a technical fuselage failure. The aircraft, carrying 155 passengers, made an emergency landing at Pulkovo Airport in St. Petersburg.
AZAL said the crew followed safety procedures, burning excess fuel before landing. Emergency teams at the airport were placed on alert, and the plane landed safely at around 04:43 Baku time, veering slightly off the runway. All passengers were safely evacuated without injuries.
The airline sent another aircraft to St. Petersburg to complete the passengers’ journey to Azerbaijan.
