Russia is also prepared in cooperation with Damascus to agree on practical steps to cut off the Turkish-Syrian border. “We are convinced that by closing the border, we have largely solve the problem of eradicating terrorism in the Syrian territory,” – said Lavrov.
“We have accumulated more and more questions about the true intentions of Ankara and its degree of real interest in the elimination of terrorism, in particular in Syria, and its interest in normalizing the situation in the SAR”, – he added the head of the Russian Foreign Ministry. Defeating terrorism is possible only in case of failure of Syria’s neighbors from double standards, he said.
In addition, Lavrov called on to make a list of terrorist organizations grouping whose members shot the Russian pilot. “Everyone has seen the pictures, they sneered at our pilot’s body. Without the inclusion of the group in the list of terrorist nothing we did not get,” – he stressed.

Hence – and large cash flow, large cash replenishment gangs, and now the stab in the back by hitting our aircraft that are struggling terrorists, and it is here that we have with our American partners have signed an agreement on the prevention of incidents in the air, “- the president said.
Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev said , that Moscow has information on direct financial interest of a number of officials in Ankara in the purchase of petroleum products from the “Islamic state.” This is also written a number of Russian media.
Lavrov urged the United Nations to find out who supports the IG
Erdogan responded by saying that Turkey, by contrast, is practically the only country that is seriously fighting the IG. According to the Turkish leadership, Ankara takes steps to curb oil smuggling on its borders, as it is the main source of income for the Islamists.
“Shame on you! Information about where Turkey buys oil and gas, is well known. Those who insist that we buy oil from the Islamists, must bring proof of such statements”, – said Erdogan. According to him, “Islamic State” is selling the extracted oil of Syrian President Bashar Assad. “That’s it. Discuss this with Assad, whom you support,” – he said, commenting on the statements of the Russian Federation.
Syrian Foreign Minister Walid Muallem denied Erdogan. Damascus does not conduct transactions with IG for the sale of oil, Moallem stressed. He also pointed out that the rebels receive weapons from Turkey. “Militants from more than 100 countries receive weapons from Turkey, receive logistical support … Turkey to provide medical services and provides shelter,” – said the Foreign Minister of Syria. Recently the government of the Syrian Republic have accused Turkey in connection with the “Islamic state.”
Meanwhile, Lavrov believes that the clarification of this issue should be the United Nations. “We have made specific proposals to the Security Council (UN)
how to instruct the Secretary General of the United Nations in two weeks
to prepare a report summarizing all the available information on
one who supports the illegal oil industry carried out
igilovtsami “- Lavrov said, quoted by the ” Interfax “.
Lavrov called Erdogan’s position on the Su-24 “inadequate”
Walid Muallem also sided with Russia in the situation with the Su-24. He pointed out that Turkey has committed an act of aggression by shooting down a Russian Su-24 in the Syrian
airspace. “Turkey is still unable to provide coherent evidence concerning the incident,” – he said.
Muallem added that Syria has been going on for five years, suffering from Turkish aggression and ambitions of its President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. He expressed his condolences to the families of the pilot of the Su-24 and the Marine-contractor. “I express my condolences to the families of two Russian soldiers who died in Syria. They died as true martyrs in the fight against terrorism”, – he said.
In turn, the head of the Russian Foreign Ministry accused Erdogan of “inadequate”. “He said that the Turkish Air Force did not know that a Russian aircraft, as if they knew it would have done differently. But then, in another statement, he said, if suddenly someone again violated the airspace of Turkey, we will do so well what to do. I hope that the inadequacy of such a split position is obvious to all, “- said Lavrov.
Turkish authorities say they are not interested in the deterioration of relations with Russia. Despite this, the Turkish leadership rejected to apologize for the incident with the aircraft, and Erdogan accused Putin’s unwillingness to get in touch, saying that the call to his Russian counterpart on the phone.
