$700,000 seems a lot considering that the air force already owns the helicopters, so that s just fuel, maintenance, and maybe staffing (but that d be army pilots and police spotters?

Far worse than tourist flights which are at least on the way somewhere rather than circling for days over the same area.

The international community has the responsibility to respond to these crimes and protect Uyghurs and other Turkic peoples through diplomatic, humanitarian and other peaceful means.
The atrocities being perpetrated are no less egregious if they are found to constitute one international crime or another.

The dispute remained at a virtual standstill until last week when the blockade was finally lifted. After more than three years of embargo by land, air, and sea, why is the GCC dispute coming to an end now?
