The EU is discussing a list of individuals and legal entities from Belarus against whom sanctions may be imposed due to the migration crisis on the Polish-Belarusian border. Among other things, the draft version of the sanctions list includes Minsk Airport, the Minsk Hotel and the Syrian airline Cham Wings, reports the Financial Times, citing sources in the diplomatic circles of the European Union.

All of them are somehow involved in the importation of migrants from Syria, Yemen and Iraq, according to Brussels. So, Cham Wings flew to Belarus, and the Minsk Hotel accommodated migrants, they are sure there. In addition, more than two dozen Belarusian officials may fall under sanctions.

The newspaper, citing FlightRadar data, writes that since November 7, Cham Wings has made four flights from Damascus to Minsk. On November 13, the carrier announced that it had suspended flights to Belarus, since most of the passengers are Syrians, and it is difficult to distinguish ordinary travelers from migrants.

The Turkish aviation authorities also said that they temporarily banned citizens of Iraq, Syria and Yemen from buying tickets with a flight from Turkish airports to Belarus.
