How would that work, when there are no parts to service them? And where would they fly them — the second they touch down in most countries, they’ll be repossessed.

Rumor had it that an S7 airliner was "confiscated" in Yerevan, but not exactly, it just couldn't take off because it lost its airworthiness certificate[1] because its lease was cancelled.

It seems to be almost word-for-word the same as this article in Turkish, though I don't know which is the original.

All that's missing from the English one is the final paragraph explaining the EU sanctions.
