Here are the published procedures plus crash site according to information from news media.

What puzzles me is that the ATC transcript (post #24), if correctly relayed, states that the MD-83 reported "overhead VOR" at time 2318Z and the last communication "established inbound" was 18 minutes later - you hardly fly a D12 racetrack for that long?

Could anybody familiar with Turkish ATC procedures enlighten what the guys might have done during that time? Could the flight originally have come DCT IPT VOR at high altitude with handoff from Antalya radar for descent to published procedure at 8,000 ft over the VOR? MSA is 11,500 ft in the area.

In what direction is the wreckage pointing?
