The plane was headed to Damascus from Moscow with 35 passengers on board, according to Turkish media. By NBC News wire servicesUpdated at 4:30 p.m. ET -- Turkey forced a Syrian passenger plane en route from Moscow to Damascus  to land in Ankara on Wednesday on suspicion that it was carrying  military equipment destined for Syrian President Bashar Assad's  forces, Turkey's foreign minister said.

Follow @NBCNewsWorld (http://twitter.com/NBCNewsWorld) Turkish fighter planes  escorted the Syrian plane, which was carrying around 30 passengers, into  the airport in Ankara after Turkish authorities received information  that it was carrying "non-civilian" cargo that had not been registered.
