Turkey: Detained journalists on the way home

None

Turkey says two Turkish journalists who were being held in Syrian detention are on their way home. Turkey's Anadolu agency says a plane carrying journalists Adem Ozkose and Hamit Coskun landed in Iran after leaving Syria on Saturday.

 

Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu says a Turkish plane will take the pair back to Turkey. The pair were reported missing in early March, and were not heard from until last weekend when they made brief telephone calls to their families from detention in Damascus. (AP)
