What Turkey has invented new incident with the Russian plane – TVNZ

Messages that occur on Saturday in the Turkish media, triggered a state of deja vu. Allegedly, on the eve of a fighter-bomber videoconferencing Russia Su-34 violated the air border of Turkey , and for 20-25 seconds ( so much after all?) was the province of Gaziantep, inhabited by Kurds.

It should be reminded that on 24 November last year, the Turks shot down in the skies over Syria Russian Su-24 bomber, who was returning from a mission to the base in Hmeymime. One of the pilots, crew commander Oleg Peshkov , died, the second pilot was able to safely evacuate. The Ankara claimed that “drying” flew into Turkish airspace, but in Russia Ministry of Defense is categorically denied, presenting objective control data. Vladimir Putin called the actions of the Turkish side, “stab in the back”, the relationship between the two countries deteriorated sharply.

And now a new incident of a similar scenario. The fire on the plane, this time the Turks did not open, but Ankara has announced that announces for its BBC «orange” alert level. It allows pilots to destroy the “hazardous goal” without the need for coordination with the command.

As with the first time the Russian Defense Ministry again rejected all accusations. The representative of the Ministry of Defense Russian Igor Konashenkov said that the statements of the Turkish side are “unfounded propaganda.” According to him, no Russian funds PVO in Syria or Syrian radar control airspace no violation of the Syrian-Turkish border, our planes have been recorded.

A some time with his statement Pentagon . There are, of course, supported the ally NATO . “We can confirm that one more Russian military aircraft violated the airspace of Turkey,” – said the Pentagon spokesman, Mark Wright . However, the evidence did not lead.

To understand why Ankara is composed now is the episode of the “new Russian invasion” quite familiar with the statement of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan . When on duty throwing thunder and lightning to the Moscow , he said he would really like to … meet with Vladimir Putin and discuss the situation with the Russian-Turkish relations. Then quietly departed from his declared “orange alert” on a tour of Latin America .

Yes, and Americans suddenly echoed Erdogan: “It is important, Russian and Turkish to speak to each other and take measures to prevent escalation, “- the report says the Pentagon.

Agree very smoothly statements. It appears in the US , and in Turkey understand that happen really new incident in the sky – the consequences could be unpredictable. So we decided to launch a phantom, to use it to find a reason to hurry to sit down for talks with Moscow.
