"The question of Constantinople is not closed" - Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Pyotr Tolstoy
Active discussion of the question of the real culprits of the attack on the Russian Mi-24 helicopter continues.

The program said that Russia has a "good (long) memory" and if the involvement of the Turkish side becomes clear, then "Russia knows about the locations of the Turkish officers."
The guest of the studio, Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Pyotr Tolstoy, made the following statement:
And he added that Turkey should not forget that "Russia defeated her 10 times."

Meanwhile, the Bloomberg news service, publishing material about the Karabakh agreement, writes that "Erdogan has entered Putin's backyard."
