Turkish Defense Minister Hulusi Akar said on Friday that the military helicopter crash that killed 11 soldiers may have been caused by adverse weather conditions. A Cougar helicopter crashed on Thursday in eastern Tatvan town of Bitlis Province, the defense ministry said, adding contact with the helicopter was lost in Bitlis 30 minutes after it took off from eastern Bingol Province.
