Berlin (CNN) -- Iran denied a plane carrying German Chancellor Angela Merkel permission to fly through its airspace, forcing the aircraft to circle in Turkish airspace for two hours, German government spokeswoman Elke Ramelow told CNN Tuesday.
Merkel was finally allowed to fly over Iran en route to India, Ramelow said, adding that Tehran had given no explanation.
The German government had confirmed overflight rights beforehand, Ramelow said.
There was no immediate Iranian comment on the incident.
Merkel was in India on Tuesday as part of an Asian tour.This post was made using the Auto Blogging Software from WebMagnates.org This line will not appear when posts are made after activating the software to full version.
