The Defense Ministry of Armenia informed on September 29 that a Turkish F-16 fighter jet downed an Armenian SU-25 in the Armenian air space. The pilot was unable to survive. The presence of Turkish warplanes was denied by Azerbaijani president for a long time, but later he admitted that they are in Azerbaijan, but added that they are not participating in military operations.
